Federal Reserve speakers Tuesday include Bostic (on payments) and Barr (on cybersecurity)

These don’t look to be of too much interest to traders, but perhaps we’ll get something pertinent in any Q&A?

1735 GMT / 1335 US Eastern time:

• Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta President Raphael Bostic participates in a fireside chat before the hybrid “Innovating for Inclusion” Payment Inclusion Forum at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta

1845 GMT / 1445 US Eastern time:

• Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michael Barr participates in “Cybersecurity” discussion before the Joint Financial and Banking Information Infrastructure Committee-Financial Services Sector Coordinating Council Meeting, in Washington

We are all waiting for Federal Reserve Chair Powell to speak on Friday:

• Federal Reserve Chair Powell to retain optionality, more data to come before Sept meeting

• On Friday Powell is likely to highlight inflation progress, allows focus on employment

• Federal Reserve Chair Powell to speak at 10am US Eastern time on August 23

• Bank of America on Powell speaking at Jackson Hole – to keep aggressive easing option open

• Next week doesn’t start until Thursday
