Fed Chair Powell Stresses Patience on Rate Cuts Amid Inflation Battle Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized to lawmakers that the Fed is cautious about reducing interest rates prematurely, insisting on solid evidence of inflation control before making any moves. In his testimony, Powell suggested that while it might be suitable to decrease borrowing costs at some point this year, the Federal Reserve is not prepared to do so immediately. This stance aligns with recent sentiments from various Fed officials who highlight the current strength of the economy and labor market as reasons to wait for clearer signs of inflation returning to target levels before considering rate cuts. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Why Gold May Not Go Above $2,100 Without Rate Cuts READ MORE Japan raises interest rates for first time in 17 years READ MORE Gold hits record highs on safe-haven demand, US rate cut bets READ MORE Gold dips as traders await US inflation data for Fed rate cut cues READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
