title: BREAKING >>> Powell says inflation is still too high and lower economic growth is likely needed to bring it down
description: "US 10-year is just 3bp shy of 5%...\n\nFederal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell acknowledged recent signs of cooling inflation, but said Thursday that the slowing in price increases was not enough yet to determine a trend and that the central bank would be “resolute” in its commitment to its 2% mandate.\n\n“Inflation is still too high, and a few months of good data are only the beginning of what it will take to build confidence that inflation is moving down sustainably toward our goal,” Powell said in prepared remarks for his speech at the Economic Club of New York. “We cannot yet know how long these lower readings will persist, or where inflation will settle over coming quarters.”\nSource: CNBC, Ole S.Hansen, Bloomberg, Saxo"
