Powell Signals Goals Of Fed, Dollar Index Nears 110 Level, Bitcoin And Gold Trade Lower| FXMAG.COM

Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole meeting wreaked havoc across the equity markets on Friday. His message was crystal clear: inflation must come down even if it means pain for households and businesses in the process. Major US indices tumbled, the US yields advanced, and the US dollar gained.

What about Bitcoin and Gold?

Gold and Bitcoin were sold. In energy, European gas futures continue their spike and crude oil kicked off the week higher. Due this week, the European flash CPI and the US jobs data will be in focus. For the US, another strong jobs data would further back the Fed hawks, whereas in Europe, even a scary inflation figure, and revived ECB hawks, may not suffice to throw the single currency above parity against the US dollar.
