The Daily Money: Why Wall Street is watching Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Economic experts and Wall Street have sights set on Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where Fed chief Jerome Powell will attend an economic symposium. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

The Daily Money
 
Tuesday, August 23

Happy Tuesday, Daily Money readers. Brett Molina back in the saddle with more headlines.

It's official: The tech bubble has burst, according to experts. Giants like Alphabet, Netflix and Meta (which owns Facebook) seemed like they had embarked on stratospheric growth with no end in sight.

Not anymore. Layoffs have dominated the tech sector this year as companies post disappointing quarterly results. And investors have grown even more cautious about where they place their money in the tech space.

But experts believe this tumultuous period could deliver some opportunities for investors to buy smartly if they know where to look.

All eyes on Jackson Hole this week

This isn't about scouting a future ski trip in Wyoming. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will join other top economists at an annual economic policy symposium hosted by the Kansas City Federal Reserve. It's the first in-person conference since the pandemic.

So why is Wall Street paying such close attention? Because they're seeking clues on what the Fed will do next. Although inflation has shown signs of peaking and jobs lost during the pandemic have been recovered, there are still concerns the economy could fall into a recession.

And that's where Jackson Hole enters the picture. The symposium might drop some clues on what the Fed does next, whether it keeps aggressively hiking interest rates or takes its foot off the gas.
