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.

Ships with a second round of aid for Gaza have departed Cyprus as concerns about hunger soar

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: Swiss National Bank Surprises with Rate Cut
- The Swiss National Bank cut its main interest rate by 25 basis points to 1.50%, becoming the first major central bank to ease tighter monetary policy aimed at tackling inflation.
- The franc dropped following the decision, boosting the euro to its highest level against the Swiss currency since mid-July last year, with Swiss government bond yields also falling.
- Experts like Karsten Junius and Alexander Koch highlighted the significance of the rate cut due to low inflation rates and the strong franc, with expectations for more rate cuts.
- The decision was widely perceived as a surprise, leading to speculation about further rate cuts in June and September, as inflation forecasts were substantially revised downwards.

Inflation report February 2024: 3.2% reading means the Fed's 2% goal remains elusive
nbcnews.com/business/economy/inflation-february-2024-how-economy-is-doing-right-now-rcna142758
Quick Glance: Inflation Decline and Consumer Impact
- Inflation in Germany continues to decline, primarily due to cheaper energy prices. Experts predict a further decrease in the year ahead, but with potential challenges. Higher inflation rates diminish consumer purchasing power.
- In February, energy and fuels decreased in price, while food prices increased. Services also became more expensive. Consumer prices rose by 0.4 percent compared to the previous month.
- The German government forecasts rising consumer prices and wage increases above the inflation rate. The expectation is that employees will spend the money and boost private consumption. However, the Bundesbank President warns against premature interest rate cuts.
- Despite the decline in inflation, the Bundesbank cautions against premature interest rate cuts. The European Central Bank aims for price stability in the medium term. Higher interest rates can curb demand but also burden the economy.
