Weekly Outlook: August 25, 2025
A surprisingly dovish tone from the Federal Reserve at its Jackson Hole symposium has completely reset the market’s narrative for the weeks ahead. Fears of a “higher for longer” interest rate policy have been replaced by a wave of optimism, unleashing a powerful “risk on” rally. This week, we examine how this new sentiment is lifting the broad market, reigniting growth stocks, and reviving the outlook for the global economy.
The Green Light for Equities
The S&P 500 is set for a strong rally this week as the market celebrates a significant dovish shift from the Federal Reserve. The removal of a key headwind, namely the threat of further rate hikes, has given investors a clear green light to re-engage with equities. Our models show broad based positive momentum, suggesting the bullishness seen on Friday has room to run as investors reposition for a more favorable policy environment.
Growth Stocks Lead the Relief Rally
Nowhere is the relief from the Fed’s dovish pivot felt more acutely than in high growth technology stocks. Our forecast for Snowflake shows particularly strong upward momentum. These long duration assets, whose valuations are highly sensitive to interest rate expectations, were under significant pressure in the run up to Jackson Hole. With that pressure now released, they are positioned to lead the market higher as capital rotates back into the growth trade.
Dr. Copper Signals Renewed Optimism
The bullish sentiment is not confined to equities. The price of copper, a key barometer of global economic health, has also inflected to the upside. A dovish Fed is a powerful catalyst for “Dr. Copper” for two reasons. It lowers the probability of a deep, demand crushing recession, and it typically weakens the U.S. dollar. The forecast for rising copper prices suggests the market is now less concerned about a global slowdown.
Conclusion
The key takeaway this week is the immense power of a Federal Reserve pivot. The shift to a dovish stance has provided a synchronized lift to risk assets across the board. The rally in the broad market, the outperformance of growth stocks, and the renewed strength in industrial commodities all point to a single, powerful conclusion, for the short term, the market’s primary headwind has been removed.
