Fed Chair Powell Cautions on Prolonged High Interest Rates Impact on Economic Growth
📈 Economic Concerns
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell expressed concern on Tuesday about the potential negative impact of maintaining high interest rates for an extended period on economic growth.
Preparing for his two-day Capitol Hill appearance, Powell noted that the economy and labor market remain strong despite some recent cooling. He highlighted some progress in reducing inflation, emphasizing the Fed's commitment to achieving a 2% inflation target.
"At the same time, in light of the progress made both in lowering inflation and in cooling the labor market over the past two years, elevated inflation is not the only risk we face," Powell said.
"Reducing policy restraint too late or too little could unduly weaken economic activity and employment."
📉 Interest Rates and Market Expectations
This statement comes near the one-year mark since the Federal Open Market Committee last increased benchmark interest rates. Currently, the Fed’s overnight borrowing rate is between 5.25%-5.50%, the highest in 23 years, following 11 consecutive hikes to combat inflation, which reached its highest levels since the early 1980s.
Markets anticipate the Fed will begin reducing rates in September, with a potential additional quarter percentage point cut by year-end. However, FOMC members indicated only one cut in their June meeting.
💹 Inflation Data and Economic Outlook
Powell and his colleagues recently noted some encouraging inflation data after a surprising increase earlier in the year. The Fed’s preferred inflation measure, the personal consumption expenditures price index, was at 2.6% in May, down from over 7% in June 2022.
Powell emphasized the Fed's apolitical stance and the importance of its "operational independence" to fulfill its mandate. His remarks also addressed the broader economic outlook, noting that “the U.S. economy continues to expand at a solid pace” despite the deceleration in GDP.
