- 17:20"Fed Mouthpiece": Powell Defends Federal Reserve's PolicyJinse Finance reported that "Federal Reserve mouthpiece" Nick Timiraos stated that Federal Reserve Chairman Powell's remarks on the balance sheet accomplished several things: 1) Given the recent signs of strengthening in overnight repo rates, the speech provided a mark-to-market assessment of the current quantitative tightening outlook; 2) It refuted recent criticisms (such as those from US Treasury Secretary Bessent and others) that the support measures during the pandemic—implemented at the time with broad support from Congress and the early Trump administration—were absurd policy interventions. Powell acknowledged (as he has before) that stopping quantitative easing more quickly would have seemed wiser, but given how rapidly and sharply the Federal Reserve changed course in 2022, this move had no substantial impact on the macroeconomy. 3) It also defended against efforts by bipartisan populist senators to strip the Federal Reserve of its ability to pay interest on excess reserves (IOR), warning that revoking this policy tool could cause greater disruption to the markets.
- 17:15Powell: The Federal Reserve Focuses on Overall Inflation, Not Targeting Housing PricesChainCatcher news, according to Golden Ten Data, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated that the Fed focuses on overall inflation, does not target housing prices, and will not directly use the purchase of mortgage-backed securities to address mortgage rate issues.
- 17:15Powell hints at supporting another rate cut later this month as the U.S. job market cools downChainCatcher news, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell warned on Tuesday that the U.S. labor market is showing further signs of distress, suggesting he may be prepared to support another interest rate cut later this month. Powell pointed out: "The downside risks to employment have increased." This is the strongest indication so far that Federal Reserve officials believe they have enough evidence to support another 25 basis point cut in U.S. borrowing costs. Powell added that even without new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (delayed due to the government shutdown), privately produced labor market indicators and internal Federal Reserve research provide sufficient reason to indicate that the job market is cooling. "Existing evidence" shows that "layoffs and hiring numbers remain very low," while "households' views on job opportunities and businesses' perceptions of hiring difficulties continue to trend downward." These remarks indicate that Powell is becoming more dovish on monetary policy.
