Presser Begins, Powell Pushes Back Again On Loosening Fin Conditions

FED
  • Q: On the recent loosening of financial conditions.
  • Powell pushes back again:
  • A: As I mentioned, it's important that overall financial conditions reflect the policy restraint we're putting in place to bring inflation to 2%. We think they've tightened significantly in the past year but our policy works through fin conditions > econ activity, labor market and inflation.
  • "I would say it's our judgment today that we're not as sufficiently restrictive policy stance yet which is why we say that we'd expect that ongoing hikes will be appropriate."
  • Powell notes the Dot Plot shows 17 with a peak rate of 5% or more; "can't tell you confidently that we won't move up our estimate of the peak rate again at the next SEP, will depend on future data."
