Michelle Bowman from the US Federal Reserve Board of Governors signalled, today, that 'progress on US inflation seems to have stalled.' Here are the highlights from her speech.

  • Core inflation is uncomfortably above the Fed's 2% target. The labor market is near full employment, core inflation is elevated.
  • I am concerned, if Fed cuts too much, could overheat the economy. The economy's performance questions view policy is restrictive.
  • I want to proceed cautiously and gradually with rate cuts. Lowering the policy rate too quickly could reignite inflation.
  • We have made progress lowering inflation, cooling labor market. However labor market data has gotten harder to interpret.  Upside risks to inflation remain prominent.
  • Economic conditions are very strong, while the Fed still hasn't achieved its 2% inflation target.
  • Inflation is the biggest priority when making policy choices. Doesn't take a dissenting vote on policy lightly.

EURUSD retreats today after reaching local high; after US NFP report. As for now, the pair may potentially test 1.05 level again if the lower range of the upward price channel will be rejected as the support.
