🇺🇸 Summary of Powell's Statements – Federal Reserve Meeting (FOMC):
🔹 Jobs are the main risk now ➝ Inflation is no longer the only challenge.
🔹 Supply and demand in the labor market are declining together.
🔹 Cancellation of the "Flexible Average Inflation Target" policy previously adopted by the Fed.
🔹 Inflation expectations: There is no longer an assumption that they will return to stability automatically.
🔹 Direct signal ➝ Possibility of an interest rate cut in September.
💡 These statements may mean that the Fed has become more concerned about growth and employment than inflation, which opens the door for a more accommodative monetary policy.
