Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has dispelled any remaining uncertainty by signaling that the central bank is preparing to shift its monetary policy, effectively paving the way for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/24/08/40529209/jerome-powell-time-has-come-for-interest-rate-cuts-cooling-in-labor-market-unmistakable">imminent interest rate cuts. </a>
His remarks triggered a rally in rate-sensitive assets and pushed the dollar towards the lowest close since July 2023.
&#8220;The time has come for policy to adjust. The direction of travel is clear,&#8221; Powell announced at the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jackson-hole"> Jackson Hole Symposium </a>on Friday in Wyoming.
Powell expressed increased confidence in inflation returning to the 2% target and highlighted a heightened focus on the labor market, noting that conditions are cooling.
The market found significant support in Powell&#8217;s indication the Federal Reserve has &#8220;ample room&#8221; to respond to any emerging risks.
Small-cap stocks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40530908/powells-rate-cut-signal-triggers-small-cap-rally-gold-makes-record-highs-dollar-tumbles-7-etfs-o">emerged as clear winners</a> following Powell&#8217;s speech on Friday, with the Russell 2000 index surging by 3% by midday trading in New York. Traders flocked to these companies, anticipating significant relief from the prospect of lower borrowing costs.
Regional banks, as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>), were the brightest market spot, with the industry gauge rallying over 4.5%. All of its 141 constituents showed a positive performance. 
In contrast, large-cap indices maintained their gains from the market open, showing only little reaction to Powell&#8217;s remarks.
In the forex market, the dollar extended its decline, falling by 0.7% and heading toward its fifth negative weekly close with the sharpest decline since mid-November 2023. The decline in Treasury yields weighed on the greenback.
Commodities rallied, with gold up over 1.1% setting fresh all-time highs, and silver soaring 2.5%. Crude oil also surged, up 2.4%, while copper gained 1.7%. 
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose 2.25% to $61,863.

Traders apparently are baking in expectations that Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will confirm at Jackson Hole that a rate cut is forthcoming. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40517352/nasdaq-100-slumps-1-6-as-traders-turn-cautious-ahead-of-powells-jackson-hole-address-tech-stocks">After Thursday&#8217;s hiccup, </a>stocks appear on track to open higher, with the index futures modestly higher early Friday. While delving into Powell&#8217;s speech, fund manager Louis Navellier said, &#8220;I suspect he&#8217;s going to say that the inflation has been in the Fed&#8217;s target range in the last three months, and he has to address the labor market as well.&#8221;
Analysts at Macquarie expect Powell to go with a neutral tone. &#8220;We wouldn&#8217;t be surprised by a moderate tone from Powell, which could have implications for currency markets and investor sentiment,&#8221; the analysts at the firm said, Investing.com <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/powell-may-strike-moderate-tone-at-jackson-hole-unlikely-to-lean-too-dovish-macquarie-3581485">reported. </a>&#8220;Yet, we doubt that Powell will be so bold as to sound so &#8216;dovish,&#8221; they reportedly said.

In premarket trading on Friday,&nbsp;the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) climbed 0.50% to $559.01, and the&nbsp;Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) gained 0.78% to $478.55, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Cues From Last Session: 
Selling resumed on Thursday as a modest increase in jobless claims and a faster-than-expected expansion seen in the service sector sapped the risk appetite of traders. The major averages opened slightly higher and saw some volatility in early trading. They began to move steadily lower thereafter before ending notably lower for the session amid caution ahead of Powell&#8217;s speech on Friday.
IT stocks fell by the most, and consumer discretionary and communications services stocks also fell sharply, while energy, financial and real-estate stocks bucked the downtrend.

Insights From Analysts:
The market has shown a lot of resilience as they fought back after the Aug. 5 sell-off, said Fund Strat&#8217;s Tom Lee in a CNBC interview on Thursday. &#8220;The fact we snapped back so sharply is showing you how strong the market is,&#8221; he<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_D-Pmk7g9A"> said. </a>The July jobs data and the sharp downward adjustment made to non-farm payrolls during the annual revision gives more ammunition for the Fed to start a cutting cycle, he added.
This, the strategist, said will give more life to the economy and the markets, especially to cyclical and small-cap stocks. The techs are still in a good place due to the artificial intelligence technology, he said, adding that Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) will reinforce that. The multiple at which tech stocks are trading is not a demanding multiple, he said.
&#8220;If tech is in a good place and then we get Fed cuts, I think it allows the overall market to expand.&#8221;
Lee suggested the Fed should get off its data-dependence stance, as it is the reason why the central bank missed the inflation turn and is now missing the soft-landing.
