Jackson Hole Economic Symposium is an annual conference organized by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, where leading central bankers, economists, and policymakers discuss global economic trends and monetary policy.
Held since 1982, the 2025 event will be the 44th.
Statements by participants, especially the Chair of the Fed, can sharply affect markets — particularly currency, stock, and bond markets — due to signals about the future course of interest rates.
The symposium takes place in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and is invite-only; however, key speeches are published online and widely covered by the media.
Traders dealing with USD, U.S. bonds, stock indices (especially S&P 500, NASDAQ), and currency pairs involving the dollar should definitely keep this event in mind.
