Stocks finished Monday on a positive note, with all three main indexes building on last week's impressive gains. Market participants are upbeat that this week's heavy slate of Federal Reserve speakers – including Fed Chair Jerome Powell – will give clues on when the central bank will start cutting interest rates and by how much.
Indeed, investors will be keeping a close eye on the Federal Reserve, with several central bank officials scheduled to speak. Most notable is Powell, who will take the mic on Friday during the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium.
