Jerome Powell (chapter #ФРС ):
✍️ 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 still exceeds supply.
✍️ There is no greater confidence in the trajectory of lower inflation in the United States.
✍️ We do not believe that it is appropriate to reduce rates until there is evidence that inflation is confidently decreasing to 2%.
✍️ It may take more time to resume progress in the fight against inflation in the country.
✍️ There are risks associated with too late decisions to start reducing the rate.
✍️ It is unlikely that the Fed will raise rates at its next meeting.
✍️ We are focused 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 the flexible approach in the Fed's monetary policy.
