Details of Draghi speech at Jackson Hole released a short while ago 18 Aug

  • speech to begin at 1pm local time ( 19.00 GMT )

No further detail, and of course no detail on content. This is just prior notice of the timing of his appearance.

I'm surprised that anyone thought otherwise tbh especially as I had previously posted the chatter about his non-mon pol delivery here earlier this week.

But at least we now know he'll speaking when markets are open, but it'll be oh so thin. The JH jolly is organised by the Kansas Fed and takes place in Wyoming between 24-26 Aug. Yellen is the headline speaker.

Meanwhile EURUSD 1.1750 , USDJPY clinging onto 109.00 and USDCHF 0.9610 failing to rally too far as safe-haven yen and franc plays prevail.

GBPUSD holding again at 1.2880 but a nice retreat from 1.2919 highs. What's not to like about 35 pips ?

Any rabbits to come out of the Draghi hat from Jackson Hole ?
