All eyes will turn to the mountains of Wyoming in this week for the Federal Reserve’s Jackson Hole symposium, your best chance every year to see a Nobel Prize-winning economist in a cowboy hat.

The highlight will come Friday, when Fed Chair Jerome Powell speaks about the economic outlook in a keynote address at 10 a.m. New York time.
