One can keep an eye on swaps for the current market pricing of “easing” for the Sept FOMC.
Kansas Fed informs that year’s theme is “Labor Markets in Transition: Demographics, Productivity, and Macroeconomic Policy.”
but it may be note-worthy that over time, the jackson hole shindig has served to trumpet Fed policy turns such last year’s Powell’s musing that time had come to lower rates and … voila presto Powell’s gang eased 50 pts in Sept
The ball is in Zelensky’s hands
Under peace proposals reportedly discussed between Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump at their Alaska summit, Moscow would return small areas of occupied Ukrainian territory, while Kyiv would give up larger parts of its eastern land that Russia has so far failed to seize, according to sources familiar with Moscow’s position.
Ukrainian President Zelenskiy is due to visit Washington on Monday to meet with Trump about a possible resolution to the full-scale war, which Putin began in February 2022.
Although the summit did not produce the ceasefire Trump said he had hoped for, he told Fox News that he and Putin had discussed potential land swaps and security guarantees for Ukraine, claiming the two had reached a “broad agreement.”
U.S. Treasury Yields Close the Week Little Changed
A week of eye-catching inflation data, comments from Fed officials and a controversial Trump administration nomination for a new head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics nonetheless left Treasury yields little changed. The rates market struggled to find a direction this week, caught between concerns about a slowing economy and renewed inflation pressures from tariffs. On Friday, yields climbed slightly following retail-sales growth in line with forecasts and a worse-than-expected consumer-confidence survey from the University of Michigan, which included rising inflation expectations. The benchmark 10-year yield finished the week at 4.325%, up from 4.282% last Friday. The 2-year yield–which is sensitive to near-term Fed policy expectations–ended the week at 3.758%, versus 3.757% a week ago.

S&P Dow Jones in talks to bring tokenized indexes to exchanges, DeFi: Exec
S&P Dow Jones Indices (S&P DJI) is in discussions with major exchanges, custodians and DeFi protocols to license and list tokenized versions of its benchmarks, according to Stephanie Rowton, the firm’s director of US equities.
Rowton said that the index provider is taking a “strategic approach” to ensure tokenized S&P products are launched only on platforms that meet high standards for transparency, security and regulatory compliance.
The push into blockchain comes as institutional interest in tokenized financial products accelerates. S&P DJI entered the space earlier this year by licensing the S&P 500 for a tokenization initiative with Centrifuge, which uses official data to offer programmable index-tracking funds via smart contracts.
