Vice Chair Jefferson says in prepared remarks that April’s better inflation data is encouraging but it’s too early to tell if the disinflation slowdown will last.
- “I believe that our policy rate is in restrictive territory as we continue to see the labor market come into better balance, and inflation decline although nowhere near as quickly as I would have liked”.
- “It is too early to tell whether the recent slowdown in the disinflationary process will be long lasting. The better reading for April is encouraging.”
