🔔 All Eyes on Jerome Powell: Will the Fed Cut Interest Rates? | Jackson Hole 2025 Breakdown

This week marks a critical moment for the U.S. economy and the Federal Reserve. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is set to deliver his highly anticipated speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium—a speech that could shape the direction of interest rate policy, global markets, and central bank independence for years to come.
But Powell isn't just facing economic uncertainty. He's under intense political pressure, particularly from Donald Trump, who has publicly attacked Powell and nominated Stephen Miran—a Trump loyalist who supports aggressive rate cuts—to fill a key seat on the Federal Reserve Board.
In this video, we break down:
- Why Powell's Jackson Hole speech could signal a rate cut or a policy hold
- The impact of Trump’s Fed board nomination on central bank independence
- What slowing job growth and uncertain labor market data really mean
- How immigration policy, baby boomer retirements, and demographics are shaping the labor force
- Whether the Fed will stay the course—or cave to rising political and market pressures
This year’s symposium theme is “Labor Markets in Transition: Demographics, Productivity, and Macroeconomic Policy.” It’s not just a technical topic—it’s the heart of the debate around what comes next for U.S. monetary policy.
