It’s a busy week on Wall Street as investors brace for key economic insights. The Federal Reserve’s Jackson Hole Symposium will kick off on Thursday, and with Fed Chair Jerome Powell slated to speak on Friday, investors will get a clearer picture of what the central bank’s interest rate cuts may look like. After a week of strong economic data, Goldman Sachs has lowered its US recession risk ahead of the Fed's highly anticipated September meeting. The consumer will be back in focus this week as retail earnings from Lowe's (LOW), Target (TGT), and Ross (ROST) take center stage. Meanwhile, the Democratic National Convention is kicking off in Chicago. President Biden is expected to speak Monday evening as he passes the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris. Harris announced her economic agenda last week and will likely go further in-depth when she formally accepts the nomination, laying out exactly what her administration will seek to accomplish if she wins in November. Yahoo Finance trending tickers include fuboTV (FUBO), GeoVax Labx (GOVX), and Dutch Bros (BROS).
