Powell Q&A: Don’t see any reason to be in a hurry to lower rates

  • We want to make more progress on inflation
  • We are in a pretty good place with this economy
  • We cannot control long rates (what about that decade of QE?)
  • Higher mortgage rates are less related to Fed policy and more to Treasury yields
  • View of risks on budget deficit, inflation expectations are among drivers of long-term rates
  • I too am troubled by quantity of reports on debanking

Risk assets have been making a steady recovery and the S&P 500 is now positive.

More:

  • We believe the neutral rate has risen from very low pre-pandemic level
  • Concern on labor market has diminished considerably form mid-2024
