Washington (AFP) - Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Monday that recent data boosts the central bank's confidence that inflation is coming down towards its two percent target -- a trend that signals interest rate cuts on the horizon. "We didn't gain any additional confidence in the first quarter but the three readings in the second quarter, including the one from last week, do add somewhat to confidence," Powell said in an interview with David Rubenstein of the Economic Club of Washington DC. While the central bank has focused largely on inflation -- which surged in the wake of the pand...

Washington (AFP) - The US Federal Reserve is making "modest" progress in its inflation fight, the head of the US central bank told lawmakers Tuesday, on the first of two days of testimony in Congress. When prices surged in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Fed responded by hiking interest rates to a two-decade high as it attempts to cool down the US economy and return inflation to its long-term target of two percent. Inflation has eased significantly since it peaked in 2022, but progress stalled in the first quarter of this year, effectively putting the Fed's fight on pause. The data in t...

Die US-Notenbank Fed deutet für das laufende Jahr nur eine Zinssenkung an - eine Abkehr von den bisher drei prognostizierten Zinsschritten. Alle seien sich einig, dass das weitere Vorgehen von den Daten abhängen werde, sagte Fed-Chef Jerome Powell. Zuvor hatte die Notenbank der größten Volkswirtschaft der Welt den Leitzins im Kampf gegen die hohen Verbraucherpreise zum siebten Mal in Folge in der Spanne von 5,25 bis 5,5 Prozent belassen. Die Fed veröffentlichte zugleich neue Wirtschaftsschätzungen - und erhöhte ihre Inflationsprognosen leicht. Die Konjunkturprognose für die USA beließ die Note...

Die US-Notenbank Federal Reserve (Fed) hält an ihrer Hochzinspolitik fest und deutet für dieses Jahr nur eine Zinssenkung an. Die Fed beließ den Leitzins zum siebten Mal in Folge in der Spanne von 5,25 bis 5,5 Prozent, wie der Zentralbankrat am Mittwoch in Washington mitteilte. Zu diesem Satz können sich Geschäftsbanken Zentralbankgeld leihen. Der Leitzins ist damit weiterhin so hoch wie seit mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten nicht mehr. Neue Daten der Fed zeigen außerdem, dass sich die Inflation hartnäckiger als erwartet erweisen könnte. EZB leitete Zinswende einDie Europäische Zentralbank (EZB) hatt...

Washington (AFP) - The US Federal Reserve is likely to keep interest rates unchanged this week, but could pare back the number of cuts it has penciled in for this year, as policymakers digest a mixed bag of economic data. Stalled progress against inflation and a robust labor market have pushed many analysts to predict that the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will not cut interest rates from their current 23-year high before September at the earliest. A September start to cuts would likely increase the gap between the Fed and the European Central Bank (ECB), which began easin...

Washington (AFP) - Progress in the US Federal Reserve's fight against inflation "likely resumed" last month, a senior bank official said Tuesday, adding that additional rate hikes were probably unnecessary. Consumer inflation ticked lower in April, providing Fed policymakers with some good news following an uptick in the first quarter that had led some officials to question whether to cut rates at all this year from their current two-decade highs. "The inflation data for April suggests that progress toward two percent has likely resumed," Fed governor Christopher Waller told a conference in Wa...

Washington (AFP) - The US Federal Reserve should keep interest rates at their current elevated levels for longer than previously expected due to disappointing recent inflation data, a senior bank official said Monday. The Fed has raised interest rates to a 23-year high and held them there as it looks to bring inflation down to its long-term target of two percent. But despite significant progress last year, the Fed's inflation fight has faced a setback this year, with the rate at which consumer prices are rising accelerating again in the first quarter. Speaking at a conference in the US state...

Washington (AFP) - Le président de la Réserve fédérale américaine (Fed), Jerome Powell a estimé mardi que la persistance d'une inflation toujours élevée avait réduit son niveau de confiance quant au fait qu'elle puisse se rapprocher de l'objectif de 2% fixé par l'institution. "Le premier trimestre aux Etats-Unis a été marqué par l'absence de progrès concernant l'inflation", a regretté le responsable américain à l'occasion d'un événement aux Pays-Bas, retransmis en ligne. "Nous ne nous attendions pas à ce que ce soit facile mais les chiffres ont été plus élevés que tout ce que n'importe qui ant...

Washington (AFP) - Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell said Tuesday that hot US inflation data has lowered his level of confidence that price rises will slow back down towards the bank's long-term target. "The first quarter in the United States was notable for its lack of further progress on inflation," the head of the US central bank said during an event in the Netherlands that was streamed online. "We did not expect this to be a smooth road, but these were higher than I think anybody expected," he continued. "And so what that has told us is we'll need to be patient and let restrictive poli...

Washington (AFP) - A senior official at the US central bank said Friday that she doesn't expect any interest rate cuts this year following a recent uptick in inflation. The US Federal Reserve has held rates at a 23-year high for months as it battles to bring elevated inflation back down to its long-term target of two percent. After easing significantly last year, inflation has accelerated once more since the start of the year, causing concern among Fed officials as they contemplate the right time to start lowering rates. "I, at this point, have not written in any cuts" for 2024, Fed governor...
