Highlights

With Monday's odd spectacle of a White House meeting with heads of state from the US, Ukraine, and much of Western Europe's leadership now past, attention returns to the US macro picture. Uncertainty about the Federal Reserve's stance ratcheted back up with the shocking upside surprise on PPI-FD last week though markets are still priced for a 25 basis point rate cut in September. Lots of focus on the Federal Open Market Committee meeting minutes due at 14:00 ET on Wednesday and the question of wider sympathy on the FOMC for multiple rate cuts this year. And then comes Fed Chair Jerome Powell's highly-anticipated speech at Jackson Hole on Friday at 10 am ET.
