The US dollar weakened while equites moved higher after Fed Chair Powell dovish comments. During his speech at the Brookings Institution, Powell said:
-
Policy will most likely need to remain restrictive for some time.
-
It makes sense to moderate pace of interest rate increases.
-
The time to slow the pace of rate hikes could come as soon as the December meeting.
-
Have made significant progress toward a sufficiently restrictive policy, but still have much ground to cover.
-
It seems to me probable to me rates need to ultimately go somewhat higher than policymakers thought in September
-
October inflation data was a welcome surprise, but it will require much more evidence to give reassurance that inflation is actually dropping.
- We estimate that the PCE price index rose 6% in the 12 months to October, core PCE rose 5%.
- The route ahead for inflation is very uncertain.
- Economic activity growth has slowed to well below the longer-run trend, and this must be maintained.
