MarketBeat Week in Review – 08/18 - 08/22
Written by MarketBeat Staff. Published 8/23/2025.
Stocks rallied to end the week after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell suggested an interest rate cut is likely in September. Speaking at the Jackson Hole symposium, Powell remarked that the “policy rate was restrictive,” and investors interpreted that and other comments as a signal to push stocks higher.
The rally could be short-lived. September is historically the weakest month for stocks, and the August reading of the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index— the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge—will be released at the end of next week. A hotter-than-expected reading could reignite inflation fears.
The market has been anything but quiet this summer, and investors can expect more volatility heading into fall. MarketBeat analysts are here to highlight opportunities regardless of overall market direction. Here are some of our most popular stories from this week.
