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: Liz Truss to Influence Tory Policy, Blaming Bank of England and Civil Service for Economic Failure
- Liz Truss blames the media, the 'London dinner party circuit', and government quangos for the economic crisis that led to the end of her premiership last year.
- The former prime minister also criticizes civil service 'group think', the Bank of England, and the weaknesses of the pensions markets as reasons for the economic collapse following her disastrous mini-Budget a year ago.
- In a significant speech at the Institute for Government, the former prime minister aims to address the criticisms against her short-lived administration and continue to influence Tory Party policy.
- When asked for examples of why her policy platform failed when she came to power, she points to institutions that often hinder governments, such as the Office for Budget Responsibility, the Bank of England, and the likes of the Environment Agency and Natural England, which compete with each other.
