FED: A few analyst takes on Powell coming through. Here's JPMorgan:
- Powell firmly supported expectations of another easing in September, with
perhaps more to come.
- The key sentence in the remarks was: "Along with July's cut, the shifts in the
anticipated path of policy have eased financial conditions and help explain why
the outlook for inflation and employment remain largely favorable." This
suggests that failing to meet that anticipation in the near term would result in
a less favorable outlook.
- The tone of the remarks is a fair bit more dovish than the recently released
minutes to the July FOMC meeting.
- The only very mildly hawkish note in the address was the concern expressed
about possible financial overheating, though such risks were judged to be
"moderate."
