Fed's Powell: More Evidence Needed Before Rate Cut Considerations Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, in his recent congressional testimony, acknowledged progress in curbing inflation but emphasized the need for more consistent data before considering interest rate cuts. While expressing some confidence in inflation’s downward trend, Powell remains cautious about declaring it sustainably approaching the Fed’s 2% target. He highlighted the delicate balance between addressing inflation and maintaining employment, noting that the risks of acting too quickly or too slowly on rate adjustments are now more evenly balanced. Powell’s stance suggests a cautious approach to monetary policy changes, with the Fed closely monitoring economic indicators before making any decisions on rate cuts. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Central Banks Increase Gold Holdings by 44 Tons in November READ MORE Markets on Edge: Continuing Coverage of Regional Banking Crisis READ MORE Market Predictions Shift: Fed Rate Cut Now Seen as June Event READ MORE Baby Boomers' $76 Trillion Savings Shield US from Recession READ MORE 56% of Americans Unable to Cover $1,000 Emergency Costs READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
