U.S. stocks settled higher on Friday, with the Dow Jones index jumping more than 800 points during the session following speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powel at the central bank’s annual Jackson Hole Symposium.

Powell sent a clear signal that the central bank is preparing to shift its stance on interest rates as early as next month.
