Powell: Fed May Cut Rates Before Inflation Hits 2% Target Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell expressed increased confidence that inflation is moving towards the 2% target, citing recent positive data. While declining to specify a timeline for rate cuts, Powell indicated that the Fed would likely reduce rates before inflation actually reaches 2%. This stance, along with recent favorable inflation reports, has bolstered market expectations for potential rate cuts later in 2024, with September being a widely anticipated timeframe. Powell’s comments suggest a cautiously optimistic outlook on inflation trends, potentially signaling a shift in the Fed’s monetary policy approach in the coming months. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Economists Question the Recession-Predicting Power of the Inverted Yield Curve READ MORE China's Central Bank Creates New Liquidity Tools to "Help" Monetary Policy READ MORE First Fed Rate Cut Expected by Economists in June READ MORE Goldman Sachs Warns of Copper 'Stockout' as Prices Hit New Highs READ MORE Gold's Appeal Grows: Survey Shows Investors Increase Gold Allocations READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
