Global stocks jumped on Friday as traders wagered Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will confirm an expected cut to interest rates in September during his speech today. Markets are pricing in about a 94% chance of a rate cut in September, and President Donald Trump has called for more aggressive reductions.
