#鲍威尔发言

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell recently stated that in order to curb persistently high inflation, the Federal Reserve may accelerate the pace of tapering asset purchases and raise interest rates earlier. He emphasized that the labor market is recovering strongly, but the pressure of rising prices has exceeded expectations and needs to be addressed through tightening monetary policy. If inflation does not decrease next year, the possibility of a single rate hike exceeding 25 basis points cannot be ruled out. These hawkish remarks have caused market turbulence, with global stock markets generally under pressure and the dollar index strengthening. Analysts believe that this move demonstrates the Federal Reserve's determination to fight inflation, but it also needs to balance the risks of economic growth, and the pace of policy shift remains uncertain.
