“New Federal Reserve News Agency”: No matter what Powell “says”, in the end, inflation has the final say
At the recently concluded April FOMC meeting, the Federal Reserve held on schedule and kept interest rates high for more than 20 years. However, the policy statement after the meeting remained dovish, implying that future interest rate cuts are more likely than interest rate hikes. Nick Timiraos, a reporter from the New Federal Reserve News Agency and the Wall Street Journal, wrote that the current market's tendency to determine the Federal Reserve is not that important; what is more critical is economic and inflation data. There are two opinions within the Federal Reserve. Within the Federal Reserve, some officials have been worried that keeping interest rates too high for too long, especially when inflation and wage growth are slowing down, it will cause
Keep interest rates unchanged! The Federal Reserve admits that the rate of cooling inflation has stagnated, and QT has been slowing since June
The Zhitong Finance App learned that on Wednesday, the Federal Reserve announced that it will keep interest rates unchanged in the range of 5.25% to 5.5% as scheduled, while pointing out that the rate of cooling inflation has come to a standstill recently. This indicates that unless the economy recedes, the Federal Reserve will maintain a wait-and-see attitude and wait for a better time to adjust interest rates. In a policy statement issued on the same day, the Federal Reserve emphasized the lack of further progress in reducing inflation in recent months. Previously, the Federal Reserve believed that the US economy was entering a better balance in achieving the goals of price stability and full employment. However, the latest statement suggests that this improvement has stalled and over the past year

The target range of the Federal Reserve's indicator overnight interest rate has remained at 5.25%-5.50% since July last year, and the market is not expected to change during the two-day policy meeting that ends on Wednesday.

“New Federal Reserve News Agency” looks ahead to this week's FOMC meeting! Interest rate policies, QT reduction, and inflation have all been mentioned!
Timiraos quoted the Chinese proverb “do nothing to fix” at the beginning of the article, believing that this might summarize the Federal Reserve's latest interest rate policy policy. The Federal Reserve may emphasize that it is preparing to keep interest rates unchanged for longer than previously anticipated. Powell may say that the economic forecast released in March is out of date. For the time being, the Federal Reserve is unlikely to see a hawkish shift that suggests that interest rate hikes are more likely than interest rate cuts. Timiraos is uncertain whether the Federal Reserve will officially announce a reduction in QT at this meeting.
