Fed George: While inflation may be moderating, it remains elevated

[Fed George: Although inflation may be easing, it is still high] On August 19, the Federal Reserve George said that although inflation may be easing, it is still high. So far, the degree to which core inflation has eased is "hardly reassuring". Last month's inflation numbers were "encouraging," but not triumphant yet. There is still a "pretty serious imbalance" between demand and supply in the United States. U.S. economic growth is expected to continue to slow, and inflation expectations look well anchored. The tense situation in the US labor market will take some time to ease, and demand is still at a relatively high level.

The trend of Eurodollar means that the Fed may even implement a single rate cut of 50 basis points in 2023. The latest data suggest the Fed has room to raise rates by 175 basis points for the rest of 2022. This could be interpreted as room for another 75 basis point rate hike before the Fed adjusts its rate hike actions to be less aggressive. (Golden Ten) [2022/6/24 1:27:58]
