On taper announcements, Oliver said, “Don't think Jerome Powell is in a position to sort of speak on behalf of the rest of the Fed, he may signal that time is advancing and that taper is getting closer, but I don't think he is going to give a strong signal to the effect that they are going to make an announcement. They are certainly not going to make an announcement at Jackson Hole. The question is whether he is hawkish enough to justify an announcement in the September meeting, or whether he will wait till the November meeting.”
