🇺🇸 Part 1 - Jerome Powell: Chapter #ФРС (Federal Reserve)
✔ Inflation is still high and there is no guarantee of further progress.
✔ There is significant progress in achieving the objectives of the dual mandate (economy and labor market).
✔ This year’s inflation data is higher than we expected. There was no progress!
✔ The labor market is still tight.
✔ Demand in the labor market continues to exceed supply.
✔ There is no greater confidence in the downward trajectory of inflation in the United States.
✔ We do not believe that it is appropriate to reduce rates until there is evidence that inflation is steadily declining towards 2%.
✔ More time may be needed to resume progress in the country's fight against inflation.
✔ There are risks associated with decisions to start reducing the rate too late.
✔ It is unlikely that the Fed will raise rates at its next meeting.
✔ We focus on the timing of restrictive PrEP in the United States.
✔ We are guided by the goals of price stability and maximum employment.
✔ The US economy is resistant to a flexible approach in the Fed's monetary policy.
