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: UK inflation stays at 6.7% - Impact on mortgage, savings, and money
  • Core inflation, excluding food and energy prices, decreased from 6.2 to 6.1 percent.

  • The official Consumer Price Index has been steadily decreasing since the end of 2022, reaching a peak of 11.1 percent.

  • Official figures indicate that average weekly earnings, excluding bonuses, increased by 7.8 percent in the three months leading up to August - a higher rate than inflation.

  • Even though the best paying easy access accounts offer 5 percent or more, inflation remains higher - resulting in effectively lower savings each year, even with added interest.
