Jerome Powell, Chairman of #FED :
(Jackson Hole)
š„ It's time to adjust the Fed's monetary policy (cut the rate)
ā We will do everything possible to support a strong labor market.
ā The timing and pace of the Fed rate cut depend on macro data and the balance of risks.
ā Inflation is steadily moving towards the target of 2%.
ā We have made significant progress towards achieving the goal of price stability while avoiding a sharp rise in unemployment.
ā The risks to the Fed's dual mandate have changed - the likelihood of rising inflation has decreased, but the risk of falling employment has increased.
ā We do not seek or welcome further cooling of the labor market.
ā The economy continues to grow at a confident pace.
