Fed’s Powell: Economy isn’t sending signals that we need to be in a hurry to cut

Comments from the Fed Chairman in Dallas

  • Economy not sending signals that Fed needs to be in a hurry to lower rates
  • Moving policy over time towards neutral; policy isn’t pre-set
  • Expects inflation to continue to come down on a ‘sometimes bumpy’ path
  • Fed committed to finishing the job on inflation
  • Economic strength gives Fed the ability to approach its decisions carefully

This is hawkish stuff compared to market pricing; odds of a Dec cut are down to 67%.
