Expect some market stability after Jackson Hole, says Wells Fargo

The market is likely to find some stability after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell delivers his remarks Friday in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Wells Fargo’s Christopher Harvey said in a note on Wednesday.

“Fed concerns are expected to escalate and one (possibly both) of the latest interest rate drivers to pull back is expected. Until then, interest rate and liquidity trends point to more ‘interruptions,'” he said.

The market rallied after hitting a low in mid-June, but recently suffered from renewed fears that the Federal Reserve will keep raising interest rates for longer than expected.

“In our view, a Jackson Hole meal will be in the eye of the beholder: the Hawks will focus on hard-line statements (and vice versa for pigeons),” Harvey said.

Kreinsky noted that recent economic data has been weaker than expected “causing an attempt to buy bonds and the perception that Powell might be ‘less hawkish’ at Jackson Hole.” “That may be enough to maintain stock supply…but it is not necessarily a ‘bullish’ medium-term scenario if environmental data continues to weaken.”

The Fed’s Kashkari says his biggest concern is that inflation will be more stable or higher than expected.

His biggest concern is that markets are underestimating how high or how long inflation will last, says Neil Kashkari, president of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve, adding that the Fed may need to be more aggressive than expected.

Commenting on the market, he said, commenting on the market: “The big fear I have in my mind is whether we are wrong and the markets are wrong, and that this inflation is much more implied at a much higher level than we or the markets appreciate.” Expectations of inflation returning to 2% over the next two years.

“Then we will have to be more aggressive than I expect, and possibly longer, to bring inflation down again,” he said, speaking at an event at the University of Pennsylvania.

Kashkari also cited supply-side shocks that have led to “half to two-thirds” of high inflation in the country.

“The more help we get from the supply side, the less the Fed has to do, the better we are to avoid a hard landing,” he said. But, he added, there is some evidence that supply chains are starting to normalize.
