Powell: Fed Made Progress on Inflation
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged progress in reducing inflation but emphasized the need for sustained downward momentum before considering interest rate cuts. Speaking at a central banking forum in Sintra, Portugal, Powell noted that while recent inflation readings suggest a return to a disinflationary path, the Federal Reserve requires greater confidence in the sustainability of this trend.

Powell’s comments come as markets closely watch the Fed’s next moves, with some expecting rate cuts as inflation shows signs of easing. However, Powell reiterated the importance of avoiding premature policy loosening, which could undermine the progress made in reducing inflation.

The Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the personal consumption expenditures price index, has steadily decreased, reaching a 2.6% 12-month level in May. While this progress is encouraging, Powell emphasized the need for sustained downward momentum to reach the Fed’s 2% inflation target, which is not expected until 2026.

Powell’s cautious approach reflects the delicate balance between addressing inflation and supporting the ongoing economic recovery. He acknowledged that moving too soon or too late poses risks, and the Fed must carefully consider its next steps.

Market expectations have shifted in recent months, with some anticipating two rate cuts by the end of the year. However, Powell refrained from committing to a specific timeline, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring of inflation and economic data.

The Federal Reserve’s approach is closely watched by global central banks, and Powell’s comments were made in the presence of European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde and Brazil central bank Governor Roberto Campos Neto.
