Predicted for 28. August 2026
·
Based on: Ongoing Event
Polymarket prices a September Fed hold at 72%, Kalshi at 69.5% — 'unchanged' is the clear market consensus. Warsh delivers his first Jackson Hole keynote as Fed Chair on 28 August. July CPI: 3.4% YoY (declining but above 2% target; core +2.5%). July NFP: only 73,000 (preliminary: –23,000 seasonally adjusted) — labor market visibly cooling. If Warsh signals a pause, US Treasuries will be bought; a >5bps yield reaction is realistic with clear communication. Uncertainty: Warsh has a relatively hawkish reputation and may communicate ambiguously. The prediction requires both conditions: pause signal AND >5bps yield drop on 28 Aug.

The S&P 500 closed at 7,636.36 on 9 September 2026. Falling below 7,450 by month-end would require a 2.4% decline. Headwinds: Fed rate hike of 25bp on 16 September (CentralBank.Watch: 59% probability), August PPI above expectations (+5.4% YoY), Iran-Gulf risk premium. Stabilizing factors: hike largely priced in (Polymarket: 93% for zero 2026 cuts), Q2 earnings solid, no recession signals. Historically, a single 25bp September hike rarely causes a monthly decline above 2.5%.
