US Federal Reserve (Fed) President Jerome Powell is delivering opening remarks and speaking about the policy outlook at the central bank’s annual Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, in Wyoming.
Central bank is moving policy 'purposefully' to a level sufficiently restrictive to return inflation to 2%.
Restoring price stability will take some time, require using central bank's tools 'forcefully'.
Reducing inflation likely to require sustained period of below-trend growth.
There will very likely be some softening of labor conditions, some pain to households.
These are the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation, but failing to restore price stability would mean far greater pain.
Benchmark overnight interest rate at long-run neutral estimate of 2.25%-2.50% 'not a place to stop or pause'.
Overarching focus is to bring inflation back down to 2% goal.
Decision on September rate hike will depend on totality of data since July meeting.
At some point, as policy stance tightens further, it will be appropriate to slow pace of rate increases.
Restoring price stabilty will likely require maintaining a restrictive policy stance for 'some time'.
Fed must keep at it until the job is done.
Historical record cautions strongly against loosening policy prematurely.
US economy clearly slowing, but has strong underlying momentum.
Labor market is particularly strong, but out of balance; high inflation has continued to spread.
July's lower inflation readings welcome, but short of what will be needed before central bank is confident inflation is moving down.
Central bank committed to moderating demand to better align with supply.
The longer high inflation continues, the greater the chance it will become entrenched.
In an immediate reaction to Powell’s comments, the US dollar index was largely unchanged, keeping its range near-daily lows of 107.71. The gauge is shedding 0.62% on the day.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
