Fed Chair Powell: Labor Market 'Fully Back in Balance' Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has declared that the U.S. labor market has achieved balance, marking a significant shift from the past three years when a tight job market was cited as a reason for maintaining high interest rates. This change in stance suggests that the Fed no longer views the labor market as a primary source of inflationary pressure. The cooling job market, evidenced by more concentrated hiring in specific sectors like healthcare and government, may now support the case for potential interest rate cuts in the near future. This development indicates that the Fed is reassessing its policy approach, considering both inflation risks and the potential negative impacts of prolonged high rates on the economy. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Citi's Bullish Forecast for $3,000 Gold in 2025 READ MORE Gold's Disconnect from Dollar and Yields Raises Questions for Wealth Managers READ MORE New Russia-Iran Pact Marks Major Step in Global De-Dollarization Efforts READ MORE Economic Indicators and Political Shifts Propel Gold Above $2,425 READ MORE Young Borrowers Struggle as Credit Card Debt Hits 14-Year High READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
