· On the impact of the US election on the Federal Reserve's policy path

--"In the short term, elections will not have any impact on our policy decisions.Many factors affect the economy, and anyone working in forecasting will tell you that the economy is difficult to predict.

--"Whether and to what extent these policies will have an impact on our goals of full employment and price stability."We do not speculate, speculate, or make assumptions.

"In principle, any government policy or policy set by Congress can have economic effects that over time can have an impact on our pursuit of dual goals."

· About the rise in bond yields

--"We have been watching the rise in bond yields, which are nowhere near where they were a year ago.

--"These changes seem to be mainly due to rising inflation expectations, but rather to a perception that growth is stronger and that downside risks are likely to be smaller."

--"If you remember the 5 percent yield on the 10-year Treasury note, people came to extremely important conclusions, only to find that, you know, three weeks later, the 10-year Treasury note yield fell by 50 basis points.So, you know, what really matters is the major financial changes that persist.

· What circumstances might lead to a pause in interest rate cuts?

--"As we approach neutral or near neutral levels, it may be appropriate to slow down our pace of reducing restrictions."

· US finances are unsustainable

--"That is, U.S. finances--the federal government's fiscal policy is on an unsustainable path.Our debt levels are not unsustainable relative to the economy.

--"We see this from, you know, you have very large deficits at full employment and expect that to continue.So, you know, it's important to solve this problem.It is ultimately a threat to the economy.

· Inflation is moving towards set target

--"The committee has increased confidence that inflation can be sustained close to 2% and believes that the risks in achieving employment and inflation targets are broadly balanced.

· Reduce the policy interest rate by 50 basis points

--"Given the progress in inflation and the balance of risks, the committee decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 0.5% to 4.75% to 5%.

· Reduce the policy interest rate by 50 basis points

--"Given the progress in inflation and the balance of risks, the committee decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 0.5% to 4.75% to 5%.

· U.S. growth rate is "steady"

--Economic activity continues to expand at a "steady rate" and growth in the second half of this year is expected to be similar to that in the first half."The U.S. economy is in good shape, and our decision today is aimed at keeping it that way.

--"The U.S. economy currently shows no signs of recession, nor does it believe that a recession is imminent.

· on inflation

--"Inflation is closer to the target, upside risks to inflation have diminished, while downside risks to the labor market have increased.

--He did not announce that the Fed had defeated inflation, but expressed his belief that inflation would fall to its target level of 2%.He added: "While people may no longer think about inflation as frequently as before, they may indeed notice higher prices, which is painful.

· There is no fixed interest rate path in the future, and decisions need to be made based on data cameras.

--Taking into account risk balance, the interest rate will be lowered by 50 basis points today, but no fixed interest rate path has been set, and meetings will be held one by one to make decisions.As usual, Powell reiterated that the next step depends on economic data.

--Powell emphasized that no one should think that a 50 basis point interest rate cut is a new trend, and should not draw such a conclusion based solely on this interest rate cut.In other words, don't bet on a next 50 basis point rate cut.

· Labor market conditions are good

--"The labor market is in good shape, and I hope it can maintain this state; but if the labor market unexpectedly slows down, then the Federal Reserve will accelerate the pace of interest rate cuts."Powell believes that the current unemployment rate of 4.2% is very healthy. The rise in the unemployment rate is partly due to the influx of immigrants. The rise in the unemployment rate is also due to the slowdown in recruitment.

· Neutral interest rates are much higher than before the epidemic; there is no plan to stop shrinking the balance sheet in the near future

--Regarding the neutral interest rate, Powell said he did not know where the specific level was, but it should be much higher than in the past (before the epidemic).When asked about the balance sheet, he said that the reserves are stable and sufficient and are expected to remain for some time, and there is no plan to stop shrinking the balance sheet in the near future.

· Stay put as scheduled, but interest rate cuts may be discussed at the September meeting

--"The target range of the federal funds rate remains unchanged as scheduled, maintaining a level of 5.25%-5.5%. All Fed officials participating in the meeting agreed.

--Powell admitted that among the Federal Reserve officials attending this meeting, more and more people believe that if the conditions are met, the next meeting can formally discuss starting interest rates.

· In this interest rate statement, there are major changes to the expression of the economy

--In the interest rate statement, the expression of the current economic situation was changed from "employment growth remains strong" to "employment growth has slowed down and unemployment has increased"

--The outlook for the future has been changed from "the committee remains highly concerned about inflation risks" to "the committee is concerned about the risks of its dual mission"

· About the September interest rate cut

--Regarding whether interest rates will be cut in September, Powell emphasized that the Federal Reserve will not make a decision on future meetings, and the decision will still depend on data-dependent, but not on a certain data.

--If the data develops as expected, the fastest rate cut could be September.

--If inflation falls quickly, interest rates may be cut even though the economy and employment remain resilient; if inflation becomes sticky (other conditions remain unchanged), it may wait longer.

· About the job market

--"The Federal Reserve focuses on dual goals and views both conditions equally.

--"The job market is gradually normalized, and that's what we want to see.

--"If employment data cools faster than expected, we will respond.

· on economic

--Powell clearly described the economic situation in his opening remarks as "strong but not overheated".

--In addition, it mentions the indicator "Private Domestic Final Purchases"(PDFP) more than once as an endorsement of the strong economy and demand.

Review of the statement of the Federal Reserve's June 2024 interest-rate meeting

 美联储2024年2月议息会议声明

· Continue to keep policy interest rates unchanged and progress is made in inflation governance

--"In support of its goal, the committee decided to keep the target range for the federal funds rate unchanged at 5.25% to 5.5%.When considering any adjustment to the target range of the federal funds rate, the committee will carefully evaluate the data received, the changing outlook and the balance of risk.


--"In recent months, moderate further progress has been made towards achieving the committee's 2 percent inflation target.

· Interest rate dot chart cashes upside risks, and differences in the number of interest rate cuts

--"With a slight increase in inflation forecasts, interest rate forecasts have also been raised.After the increase in long-term interest rate forecast in March, this meeting will continue to increase the level of 0.2%.

--One interest rate cut during the year (7th place) vs two interest rates (8th place)

· Repeat the risk-balanced management posture again

--"We know that reducing policy tightening too early or too much can reverse progress on inflation; at the same time, reducing policy tightening too late or too little can excessively weaken economic activity and employment."

· Long-term interest rates may be higher

--"There is an emerging view that interest rates will not-are unlikely to fall to pre-epidemic levels, when rates were very low, based on recent historical data.

--"Many officials do believe that interest rates will not return to pre-epidemic levels.

· Service industry inflation deserves vigilance, American wages are high

--"In some non-housing service areas, you will see that inflation is still rising, which may be related to fluctuations in wages and commodity prices.Import prices of goods have increased surprisingly, which is a bit hard to understand.

· Continue to keep policy interest rates unchanged, official announcements slow down and shrink the balance sheet

--"The committee believes that the risks of achieving employment and inflation targets are becoming better balanced.The economic outlook is uncertain and the committee remains highly concerned about inflation risks.To support these goals, the committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 5.25% to 5.5%.


--"There has been a lack of further progress in meeting the Committee's 2% inflation target in recent months" and "The risks of achieving employment and inflation targets over the past year have become better balanced."

--"Starting from June, the monthly pace of reducing national debt will be slowed down.In his speech, Powell said that slowing down the balance sheet reduction is not lenient, nor does it mean that the total reduction in the balance sheet will be smaller than expected, but is to ensure a smooth transition more gradually.

· It takes longer to gain confidence in inflation

--"We will not be satisfied with an inflation rate of 3% and will gradually restore the inflation rate to 2%.

--"My expectation is to see inflation fall this year, but my confidence has dropped.

· The labor market remains relatively strong, denying stagflation.

--"The labor market continues to balance, and the latest JOLTS data shows that resignation and hiring rates have returned to normal levels.Labor demand has cooled but remains strong.

--"The United States is still at a very healthy level of growth and has not seen stagnation.

· Without considering further interest rate hikes, postponing interest rate cuts is appropriate

--"It is unlikely that the next policy rate will be raised. If the current restrictions are not enough to bring inflation back to 2%, a rate increase will be raised, but there is currently no evidence of this.

--"The labor market remains strong, but inflation is moving sideways, and postponing interest rate cuts may be appropriate.

· Two paths would allow the Fed to consider cutting interest rates

--"Confidence in inflation back to 2% has increased, or the labor market has unexpectedly weakened.

--"A rise in unemployment above 4% can be considered an unexpected weakening, but the rise in unemployment must be substantial before the Fed takes action.

· Don't consider cutting interest rates until you have "greater confidence" in lower inflation

--"The committee believes that lowering the target range is inappropriate until there is greater confidence that inflation continues to move towards 2%.

· It is not far off to slow down the scale

· Interest rate cuts in 2024 are appropriate

--"It would be appropriate to start easing monetary policy sometime this year.

--"Before cutting interest rates, we need more confidence that inflation continues to fall.

--"The first interest rate cut has a significant impact.We can approach this issue carefully and let the data speak.

--"If there is significant weakness in the labor market, that will be a reason to cut interest rates."

· Inflation has not changed the overall picture

--"January CPI and PCE data were quite high, but may be due to seasonal adjustments.We will not overreact or ignore these two months of data.

--"Although recent data has changed, the inflation data has not really changed the overall situation, that is, inflation is gradually declining and the road is a bit bumpy.

--"Looking for data to confirm last year's low reading gives us more confidence that the inflation rate we are seeing does continue to fall to 2%."

· Unemployment is expected to rise

--"The situation is good, and I don't see any cracks in the labor market at present.

--"We do expect unemployment to rise.

· Slow down and shrink the watch in sight

--"It is appropriate to slow down the pace of shrinking the watch in the near future.

- -"We are studying the best speed and scale to slow down the reduction of the balance sheet. There is no urgent need to make decisions on the reduction of the balance sheet.

--"Policy rates are likely to peak during this tightening cycle, and it may be appropriate to start reducing policy restrictions sometime this year."

--"After the interest rate cut starts, whether the cycle starts or a one-time behavior will be determined by future data.

--"The March interest rate cut is not a benchmark scenario.

--"The balance sheet issue will be discussed in depth at the next meeting. Whether ON RRP is zero will not affect the process of shrinking the balance sheet.

· Inflation may still rebound

--"There is a risk that inflation will accelerate again.

· Interest rates are still possible, but Powell himself believes there is little chance of interest rate hikes next year

--"The committee is taking caution and cannot clearly rule out the possibility of raising interest rates at this time.

--"Interest rates have entered restricted territory, but policymakers do not want to rule out the possibility of further interest rate hikes if conditions are right and are prepared to tighten monetary policy further.

· Inflation has eased significantly

--"The committee remains committed to its target of reducing inflation to 2%. Inflation, while still high, has eased significantly. We welcome this progress, but we need to see more.

--"Opinion polls show that ordinary Americans still live with high prices, which is something people don't like.

· Interest rate cuts have entered view

--"The question of when it is appropriate to start relaxing existing policy restrictions is beginning to emerge in people's minds, and this is obviously a topic that is being discussed around the world and one that we are discussing at the meeting today.

--"Even if there is no recession, the Federal Reserve is willing to cut interest rates.We won't wait until the 2% inflation rate to cut interest rates, because that will be too late, the target will be exceeded, and it will take some time for the policy to affect the economy.

· Economic recession will affect interest rate cuts

--"There is almost no reason to think that the economy will fall into recession now, but we cannot rule out an unexpected event next year. This possibility will always exist, and a recession will seriously affect the decision to cut interest rates.

· Labor market tends to balance

--"The labor market is becoming more balanced, wages have cooled, and although still slightly above levels consistent with 2% inflation, the overall labor market situation is positive.

--"Employment growth remains strong, but given population growth and labor force participation rates, employment growth is falling back to more sustainable levels, and the era of severe labor shortages is over.

· Powell emphasizes the importance of keeping inflation down

"My colleagues and I remain focused on our dual mission of promoting maximum jobs and stable prices for the American people.We understand the difficulties caused by high inflation, and we remain firmly committed to the goal of reducing inflation to 2%.

· Powell expressed satisfaction with current economic activity but felt the impact of higher interest rates

--"Recent economic data suggests that economic activity has been growing strongly, well above earlier expectations.Driven by a surge in consumer spending, real GDP grew by 4.9% year-on-year in the third quarter.

--"After a rebound in the summer, activity in the real estate industry has leveled off and is still well below levels of a year ago, mainly due to rising mortgage rates.Higher interest rates also appear to be putting pressure on corporate fixed asset investment.

· The labor market remains tight, but supply and demand continue to balance

--"In the past three months, an average of 266,000 jobs have been added per month, a strong growth rate that is still lower than earlier this year.


--"Unemployment remains low at 3.8%.Strong job creation has been accompanied by an increase in the labor supply: the labor participation rate has increased since the end of last year, with the most significant increase in the labor participation rate among people aged 25 to 54, and the number of immigrants has rebounded to pre-epidemic levels.

--"Nominal wage growth has shown some signs of easing, and job vacancies have fallen so far this year.Although the gap between employment and workers has narrowed, labor demand still exceeds the supply of available workers.

· Inflation remains well above the Fed's long-term target of 2%

--"In the 12 months to September, the overall PCE price index rose 3.4%.Excluding volatile food and energy categories, the core PCE price index rose 3.7%.

--"Inflation has slowed since the middle of last year, and summer values have been quite favorable.But months of good data are just the beginning of building confidence that inflation is continuing to fall towards our goal.There is still a long way to go to keep inflation down to 2%.
