# The Commodities Feed: Jerome Powell Provides a Boost to Most Markets | Investing.com

> ING's Commodities Feed, republished by Investing.com, says Powell's Jackson Hole speech boosted most risk assets, including parts of commodities. Markets priced over 85% odds of a 25bp September cut, up from about 72% before the speech. Oil rose almost 2.9% last week as Russia-Ukraine ceasefire hopes faded, and secondary US tariffs on India for Russian oil looked set for 27 August.
