US STOCKS-Wall St rallies on stimulus cheer, trade optimism

After the three main Wall Street indexes racked up their third straight weekly loss despite Friday’s bounce, investors will weigh trade risks and signs of slowing growth against the potential for more action from the U.S. Federal Reserve and others in September. The focus this week will be on Wednesday’s release of minutes from the Fed’s July policy meeting, when the central bank cut rates for the first time in more than a decade, and Chair Jerome Powell’s speech in Jackson Hole on Friday. “Everything is up because the Street is expecting Fed Chairman Powell to push for an additional cut when he addresses bankers in Jackson Hole,” said Peter Kenny of Kenny’s Commentary LLC and Strategic Board Solutions LLC in New York.
