Today, $6.4 billion in options have been added again on top of the Jackson Hole meeting

Every late August, the annual global central banking conference hosted by the Kansas City Fed is held in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

About 120 people are invited, including central bank governors from around the world, the chair of the Federal Reserve, economists, and more, to discuss long-term economic policy. The most closely watched is the Fed chair’s keynote speech, which historically often releases major signals such as hints of future rate hikes/cuts.

Impact on financial markets:
The speech content will directly affect U.S. stocks, U.S. Treasuries, the U.S. dollar, gold, and cryptocurrencies. Hawkish remarks often lead to stock market declines and a stronger dollar; dovish comments tend to boost risk assets. Volatility often concentrates and intensifies around the time before and after the speech.

2026 Theme: Financial Innovation and Payment Policy
Today, the newly appointed chair Kevin Warsh will deliver the speech—markets are watching closely!
