An exceptional week in every sense of the word

—Politically: For the first time since the beginning of the war, we saw Zelensky leave his war suit and appear in a full formal suit, a step that sends a strong signal that the Ukraine-Russia file may be on the brink of a decisive phase and perhaps the end of the war.

—Economically: At the same time, all eyes are on the Jackson Hole Symposium (August 21–23), and the highlight of the event will be Powell's speech on Friday. Expectations revolve around direct or indirect signals for the upcoming interest rate decision, and with that, the contours of global market movements for the coming months will be determined.

This week is a pivotal point politically and economically… any change in the two tracks will have a huge impact on the markets and crypto.
