Fed's Powell says high interest rates need more time to work
Quick Glance: Powell Warns of Lack of Progress on Inflation
  • Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the U.S. economy, while otherwise strong, has not seen a return of inflation to the central bank's target.

  • Powell mentioned that the current policy should remain in place as inflation has not declined quickly enough and there has been no further progress towards the 2% goal.

  • Since July 2023, the Fed has maintained its benchmark interest rate in a target range between 5.25% and 5.5%, the result of 11 consecutive rate hikes.

  • Financial markets have had to adjust their expectations for rate cuts this year as inflation has been higher than expected, and the Fed's policy continues to be dependent on data.

Quick Glance: US February Inflation Data Aligns with Fed's Expectations, Powell States
  • The latest U.S. inflation data aligns with what the Federal Reserve wants to see, according to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index data released on Friday matched expectations and showed less of a slowdown than last year. However, Powell emphasized that the February report did not undermine the Fed's baseline outlook.

  • Some details of the PCE data showed improvements in inflation aspects considered important by the Fed, even though the overall numbers showed little progress in the first two months of the year. Last week, the Fed kept its benchmark overnight interest rate steady at 5.25%-5.50% and narrowly confirmed the baseline projection of a 0.75 percentage point rate decrease by the end of this year.

  • Powell has had to reconcile expectations for rate cuts with data indicating a slowdown, if not a halt, in the improvement of inflation numbers in recent weeks. He stated that recent high inflation does not alter the overall narrative of easing price pressures, but acknowledged that the recent data cannot be completely dismissed as a sign of slowed progress.

Quick Glance: Conditions for Fed Interest Rate Cuts in 2024
  • Interest rate cuts do not occur during times of economic stability, which is important for markets anticipating Federal Reserve easing next year.

  • A compelling justification will be needed to start easing, and even then, interest rate decreases are likely to occur slowly - unless an unforeseen event occurs and the Fed is forced into more aggressive action.

  • "The market constantly tries to anticipate these interest rate cuts, only to end up disappointed," said Kathy Jones, chief fixed income strategist at Charles Schwab.

  • "In a different cycle, when inflation had not risen so sharply, I think the Fed would have already reduced interest rates."
