Financial Market Preview - Friday 25-Aug

US futures are pointing to a slightly higher open. European equity markets have opened in the positive territory, following Asian markets trading lower. Market attention coming into Friday is on Powell's speech in Jackson Hole, though previews have already flagged expectations for some hawkish leanings, in line with the Fed's tightening bias. Some attention is also on options price action that might portend higher volatility around the event.Companies Mentioned: Amazon, Disney, Hertz, Hawaiian Electric
