JACKSON HOLE COULD TRIGGER BIG MARKET MOVES
This year’s Jackson Hole symposium could have an unusually strong impact on markets, according to Julius Baer.
Investors are closely watching Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s speech after July’s Fed communication provided little clarity on the policy outlook.
Historically, Jackson Hole rarely moves markets significantly—but when it does, the effects can be large and long-lasting.
The event comes at a sensitive time for bond markets following last week’s surprise Treasury buyback announcement.
President Trump signed a new space directive targeting more than 1,000 U.S. launches and reentries annually by 2030.
The goal is to rapidly expanding domestic space transportation capacity to support that growth.

The FCC just opened a rulemaking that could let satellites communicate with ordinary Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth and IoT radios across 902–928 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5.725–5.85 GHz.
Imagine a satellite network reaching billions of devices without buying exclusive spectrum or depending on a mobile operator.
Unless I missed something, it seems like next-generation Starlink satellites could support these frequencies.

$OKLO - OKLO HITS KEY NUCLEAR MILESTONE
