Fed will likely reduce their key interest rate later this year: Powell

Federal Reserve officials will likely reduce their benchmark interest rate later this year, Chair Jerome Powell said Wednesday, despite recent reports showing that the US economy is still strong and that US inflation picked up in January and February. The recent data do not ... materially change the overall picture, Powell said in a speech at Stanford University, which continues to be one of solid growth, a strong but rebalancing labour market, and inflation moving down toward 2 per cent on a sometimes bumpy path. Most Fed officials see it as likely to be appropriate to start cutting their key rate at some point this year," he added. In his speech, Powell also sought to dispel any notion that the Fed's interest-rate decisions might be affected by this year's presidential election campaign. The Fed will meet and decide whether to cut rates during the peak of the campaign, in July and September. Though inflation has cooled significantly from its peak, it remains above the Fed's 2 per

Want to see 'more good inflation readings' before rates are cut: Powell

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Friday reiterated a message he has sounded in recent weeks: While the Fed expects to cut interest rates this year, it won't be ready to do so until it sees more good inflation readings' and is more confident that annual price increases are falling toward its 2 per cent target. Speaking at a conference at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Powell said he still expected "inflation to come down on a sometimes bumpy path to 2 per cent". But the central bank's policymakers, he said, need to see further evidence before they would cut rates for the first time since inflation shot to a four-decade peak two years ago. The Fed responded to that bout of inflation by aggressively raising its benchmark rate beginning in March 2022. Eventually, it would raise its key rate 11 times to a 23-year high of around 5.4 per cent. The resulting higher borrowing costs helped bring inflation down from a peak of 9.1 per cent in June 2022 to 3.2 per cent last .
