# The Commodities Feed: Jerome Powell provides a boost to most markets

> ING's Commodities Feed says Fed Chair Powell's largely dovish Jackson Hole speech boosted most risk assets, including parts of commodities. Markets priced over 85% odds of a September 25bp cut, up from about 72% before the speech. Oil rose almost 2.9% last week amid uncertainty over a Russia-Ukraine deal and possible tougher sanctions, with US secondary tariffs on India set for 27 August.

## Why it matters

Lower US rate expectations weaken the dollar, which tends to support dollar-denominated commodity prices. Possible sanctions and secondary tariffs on Russian oil add supply risk to crude and energy-linked feed costs.
