Powell Signals Delay in Rate Cuts Amid Ongoing Inflation Concerns Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has indicated that due to persistently high inflation, anticipated interest rate cuts might be postponed to later this year, potentially maintaining higher rates for an extended period. Speaking at the Wilson Center, Powell expressed concerns that recent data do not confirm inflation is under control and hinted it may take longer than previously expected to stabilize. He emphasized that if high inflation continues, the Fed is prepared to keep interest rates elevated as necessary. This stance suggests that the Fed might implement fewer rate reductions than the three quarter-point cuts previously forecasted in March. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Gold Hovers Near Peak as Markets Anticipate Fed's Next Move READ MORE Oil Prices Fall as Global Demand Concerns Eclipse Supply Fears READ MORE Homeownership Hopelessness: Renters Doubt Future Possibilities READ MORE Florida's Housing Market Sees Price Drop Amid Insurance Crisis READ MORE Dollar Tumbles as Traders Anticipate Fed Rate Cuts Following Inflation Data READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
