BlockBeats News, August 28th, Federal Reserve Chair Powell stated: "Despite this summer's PCE and CPI data coming in better than expected, they have not led me to believe that the underlying trend in inflation has shown a meaningful improvement." "Market prices reflect that the market believes we will achieve price stability. I can assure you that the market's assessment is correct."

Powell then expressed that in a scenario where the inflation rate exceeds 2%, the Federal Reserve's "current paramount focus should be on prices." Powell's much-anticipated speech comes amid external criticism of his streamlined communication strategy. Economists and market participants believe that this strategy lacks a clear articulation of the recent economic and monetary policy outlook. Powell's speech seems to address these concerns as he delved more deeply than before into his views on the economic situation and the focus of Federal Reserve policy under his leadership.

He stated: "Let me be equally clear on another aspect of our goals: Price stability will not be achieved automatically, and inflation does not necessarily have to return on its own. Achieving price stability is the responsibility of the Federal Reserve." It is expected that Powell will not answer questions from central bank officials and economists on-site.
