Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer addresses the Fed's annual symposium at Jackson Hole, Wyoming on Saturday at 12:25 pm. New York time. The Jackson Hole get together, which begins on Thursday with the theme "Inflation Dynamics and Monetary Policy", will be closely watched as a source of the Fed's big-picture thinking. Fed Chair Janet Yellen won't attend the symposium this year, the second time in three years that the Fed's chief hasn't been part of the event.
Leading indicators (in descending order of importance):
The interest rate spread between 10-year Treasuries and the federal funds rate, reported continually during market hours.

Average weekly initial jobless claims, at 8:30 a.m. Thursday.
