Data coming up from the US on Friday include PCE inflation data

Eyes are on Jackson Hole on Friday, specifically Fed Chair Powell speaking.

• Federal Reserve Jackson Hole Economic Symposium - full agenda

• The day before Fed Chair Powell is due the chorus of Fed speakers were universally hawkish

Powell is up at 1400 GMT.

Prior to this we'll get data from the US including an inflation indicator from the PCE data. The price index is (was, in the June release) 6.8% y/y for the headline and 4.8% for the core. This is a key indicator the Fed is looking to to gauge inflation. Its not inconceivable that the result from this, if its higher than expected, will tile Powell even more hawkish.
