Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Tuesday expressed concern that holding interest rates too high for too long could jeopardize economic growth.
Setting the stage for a two-day appearance on Capitol Hill this week, the central bank leader said the economy remains strong as does the labor market, despite some recent cooling. Powell cited some easing in inflation, which he said policymakers stay resolute in bringing down to their 2% goal. “At the same time, in light of the progress made both in lowering inflation and in cooling the labor market over the past two years, elevated inflation is not the only risk we face,” he said in prepared remarks. “Reducing policy restraint too late or too little could unduly weaken economic activity and employment.” Source: CNBC, Yusuf on X

Macron’s Rise and Fall in one chart: at first, he kicked out opposition coming from the traditional right and left parties.
Fast forward to 2024 and the parliament is in gridlock with Macron's Renaissance being stuck between left and far-right. French assets could feel more pressure in the near-term -- even in the case of a hung parliament -- after the Nouveau Front Populaire came out on top in a second round of parliamentary elections. Its fiscal expansion and anti-business program could push the French-German yield spread back toward 80-85 basis points and weigh on all companies with a large exposure to hashtag#France.
