Crypto-investors are waiting for the performance of the head of the Fed in Jackson-Houl

This Friday, August 22, 2025, the head of the US Federal Reserve System Jerome Powell will make a key speech at the annual economic symposium in Jackson Houl.

The health of the cryptorrhist depends on how his rhetoric will be during the performance.

Powell can give a signal whether the regulator is ready to resume the rate of betting in September. As Powell’s performance approaches, the forecasts worsen. At the time of writing the review, over 81% of market participants believe in the reduction of the key interest rate in September. Previously, the chances reached 99%.

Analysts believe that the main intrigue lies in the tone of Powell’s performance:

  • A shift from a moderately restrictive policy to a more neutral can be an important signal.
  • An important indicator will be how Powell characterizes the balance of risks between inflation and employment data.

Investors are waiting for a hint of the September decision, but it is possible that the head of the Fed will leave uncertain signals. In this case, short -term volatility in the markets is likely.

After a series of reduction in bets at the end of 2024, a total of 100 B.P. In 2025, the Fed has left the rate five times in a row unchanged at 4.25–4.5%. However, at the last meeting, two members of the Administrative Council – Michel Bowman and Christopher Waller at once – voted for reducing, which became the first such double “protest” since 1993. This increased the expectations of a quick turn of politics.

Recall that against the backdrop of a conflict with the head of the United States Donald Trump, the head of the Fed may lose his post. Many are sure that on August 22, Powell’s last performance in the status of the chairman of the federal reserve system will be held. Formally, its term expires in May 2026. Donald Trump has already stated that he did not intend to reassign Powell.
