August 20, 2019 Headlines

Treasuries are well bid so far today, but there weren’t any major headlines driving today’s market action. S&P 500 futures are slightly lower, and other major global equity indices are mixed on the day. With no economic releases today, market participants await tomorrow’s FOMC minutes and Thursday’s PMI data. The most anticipated event of the week will be Fed Chair Powell’s Jackson Hole speech on Thursday.
