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.

reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/honda-set-up-11-bln-ev-production-base-canada-2024-04-25/
Quick Glance: Honda to Establish $11 Bln EV, Battery Plants in Canada
- Honda plans to invest C$15 billion in new EV and battery production plants in Ontario alongside existing facilities to support the growth of North American demand for EVs.
- Production is set to start by 2028, with an annual capacity of up to 240,000 EVs and 36 gigawatt-hours for batteries to achieve the goal of having all North American sales from Honda be either EVs or fuel cell vehicles by 2040.
- The Canadian government and Ontario province intend to support Honda with around C$5 billion, with Honda contributing 60%-70% of the total investment to reduce costs by more than 20%.
- Honda will also collaborate with companies like Asahi Kasei and POSCO to further lower production costs and strengthen the EV supply chain in Canada, leading to an increase in jobs and economic growth.
US economy grew less than expected in first quarter at 1.6% rate: Higher than expected price pressures cast doubt on potential for Fed rate cuts
ft.com/content/f9e3ebdd-0977-4b12-84cd-25c7380f91cb
Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: Disappointing Q1 Economic Growth and Implications
- The U.S. GDP grew at a rate of 1.6% in the first quarter, falling below expectations due to slower inventory replenishment and weak export growth.
- Despite the disappointing growth last quarter, this could potentially alter the views of Fed officials who were not keen on cutting rates following an upsurge in consumer prices.
- Some analysts believe that the weaker-than-expected report indicates the beginning of a broader economic slowdown.
- The report also highlights the performance of other sectors of the economy, such as the surge in housing construction, business investment growth, slower government spending, and the impact of trade on economic growth.
