Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Invesco's Global Head of Research, Benjamin Jones, analyzes the Federal Reserve's stance after Chair Kevin Warsh's Jackson Hole speech, expecting the Fed to remain on hold for the rest of the year. He anticipates reduced forward guidance to widen outcome ranges, potentially increasing term premium and pushing longer-term yields higher. Despite earnings strength, he doubts the US dollar's support, and notes markets can likely handle a 10-year yield at 5%.

Key arguments
- Fed Chair Warsh's speech was hawkish but did not change the view that the Fed stays on hold for the rest of the year.
- Reduced forward guidance may widen range of outcomes, increasing term premium and pushing longer-term yields higher.
- Labor market is resilient despite downward revision of 79,000 jobs.
- Earnings season had strong beat-to-miss ratios in the S&P 500 and double-digit growth in Europe and Japan.
- US dollar strength is unlikely to persist as higher yields are due to lack of Fed guidance, not confidence.
- Global economy can likely live with US 10-year yield at 5%.
- Sharply falling rates are more worrying but remain low probability.
- Private sector leverage is lower, making it less sensitive to rates.

- 65 months
- Payroll revision

Main risks

- Wider outcome ranges due to less forward guidance could lead to higher market volatility.
- A sharp fall in rates due to a growth scare remains a low probability but possible risk.
- Reduced Fed guidance could undermine confidence in the dollar.
- Term premium expansion could push long-term yields higher than expected.
Corresponding source evidence
If the Fed stops signaling a path, then investors may have to work out the range of outcomes themselves.
· medium-termJob creation for April 2025 to March 2026 was revised down by 79,000, which is a fraction of the revisions that came before it.
· currentThe US dollar rose on Friday, but I doubt that holds.
· short-term
Conditions / invalidation
- If the Fed stops signaling a path.
- If the long end climbs because investors need compensation for a central bank that no longer tells them where it’s going.
