In global markets, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's speech is among the most important agenda items of the day. It was noted that Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, who will speak at the event to be organized by the Wall Street Journal, is expected to give the message that the bank will be very patient with its loose monetary policy. In his speech today, Fed President Jerome Powell will try to calm the concerns in the bond markets recently.
Experts are expected to focus on the message that the monetary policy will remain slack for a long time rather than evaluating the increase in long-term bond yields, experts say. The president is also envisioned to convey the message that he wants to avoid irregularities in the bond market like last week.
JPMorgan US Chief Economist Michael Feroli said, "There is a desire to keep interest rates in line with the Fed's targets rather than an effort to cool the market."
