Focus will be on US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the central banks’ conference in Wyoming on for hints on the Fed’s interest rate hike strategy. Fed funds futures have been divided between 50 (43.5 per cent) and 75 bps (56.5 per cent) rate hike at the Sep meeting. This could all get repriced after Governor Powell’s speech at Jackson Hole today. Investors also took stock of data showing the US economy contracted at a moderate pace than initially thought in the second quarter.
