Free AccessMNI TRANSCRIPT: Powell on Groups of Opinions
WASHINGTON (MNI) - The following is the portion of a transcript from
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's press conference after the FOMC meeting
Wednesday:
Q: I was struck by the sort of, anchored median federal funds rate through
2020 and that, in comparison to the fact that you have sort of three, very
discrete groups of opinions. Around where the funds rate is heading and I wonder
-- is it fair to say that those opinions have become firmer in their conviction
and that it's going to take some real material change in the outlook now for
that to move in either direction.
A: You're asking specifically about 2020?
Q: Well, the fact that the federal funds rate is seen as not moving through
2020 suggests these opinions are pretty well-accurate right now in those groups.
A: You know... honestly, I think it's hardened expectations about where
rate policies will be a year from now. The closer you get to the current day,
the more kind of things you can have. Even then... knowing what the data will
say and the, and... the way geopolitical events and other events are going to
evolve in the next 90 days and implications of that in the economy, I'd say
there's a lot of uncertainty around that. If you look at 2020, I think the use
of this is individual participants write down their forecast. It gives you a
sense of how people are thinking about the likely path of the economy and... the
appropriate path for monetary policy in that individual person's thinking and I
think that's a good thing to know. I'd be reluctant to look at it as hardened
views or a prediction, really.
