Fed's Chairman Powell: We will be carefully assessing incoming data and the evolving risks

  • At July meeting, I thought it could be appropriate to start taper this year. Since then there has been more progress on employment but also the further spread of the delta variant
  • Outlook for labor market has brightened considerably in recent months
  • Substantial further progress test has been met for inflation
  • We have much ground to cover to reach maximum employment
  • Time will tell whether we have reached 2% inflation on a sustainable basis
  • Incoming data should provide more evidence that supply-demand imbalnaces are improving and more evidence of continued moderation in inflation
  • If sustained higher inflation were to become a serious concern, Fed would certainly respond
  • Inflation at these levels is a cause for concern but elevated inflation readings likely to prove transitory
  • Little reason to think underlying disinflationary factors have suddenly reversed; they're likely to continue to weigh on inflation
  • For now, I believe that policy is well positioned; as always, we are prepared to adjust policy as appropriate to achieve our goals
  • Timing and pace of coming reduction in asset purchases will not be intended to carry a direct signal regarding timing of interest rate liftoff
  • Even after our asset purchases end, our elevated holdings of longer-term securities will continue to support accommodative financial conditions
