Powell Has 'No Reason' to Go Against Market, Measuring FOMC Volatility

Zed Francis says Fed chair Jerome Powell "waved the white flag" at Jackson Hole, believing he listened to calls from his committee that it was time to signal a rate cutting cycle. He says there's "no reason to go against the market" and expects a 25bps rate cut. When it comes to cuts ahead, Zed sees the committee setting up a "game plan" for the dot plot and will present it through a "unified front." He gives the case that it will be difficult to see a rally in bonds following Wednesday's interest rate decision.
