Powell Suggests Fed Might Cut Rates Before Inflation Hits 2%

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell stated on Monday that the central bank will not wait until inflation reaches 2% to cut interest rates. Speaking at the Economic Club of Washington D.C., Powell explained that due to the “long and variable lags” in central bank policy, waiting for the target could lead to over-tightening and push inflation below 2%. Instead, the Fed seeks “greater confidence” that inflation will return to 2%, bolstered by recent favorable inflation data.
