In a high profile speech that will be closely viewed on the White House and Wall L Street, Powell said there were risks to both rising unemployment and stubborn inflation. It gives the Fed a tough place, as it will usually reduce its short -term rate by hiring, while keeping it high – or raising it – fighting inflation.
“The stability of unemployment rate and other labor market measures allows us to move carefully as we consider a change in our policy,” Powell said in a comment. It suggests that the Fed will continue to evaluate jobs and inflation data as it decides to reduce the rate, including its next meeting 16-17.
“Nevertheless, with a policy in the restricted region, the migration balance of baseline views and risks may guarantee to adjust our policy attitude,” he added, “There is a more direct indication that Powell is planning to cut the rates in the previous comments.”
Nevertheless, Powell’s comment suggests that the Fed will still move carefully in the coming months and will make decisions at its rate based on how inflation and unemployment develops in the coming months. It can disappoint the financial markets, who are hoping for clear signs of the Fed’s upcoming move, and President Donald Trump, who has controlled Powell to reduce Powell sooner.

According to futures prices, the markets were expected to decline in September, though the barriers have fallen in this week. Trump has repeatedly called for a reduction, arguing that there is no “inflation” and saying that the cut will reduce the payment of government interest on its TR 37 trillion $.
Trump and his colleagues have attacked the Fed, in which a Trump official alleged that he had cheated the mortgage, calling for the resignation of the Fed Governor, Lisa Cook.
