Các quan chức Fed thể hiện sự khác biệt trước bài phát biểu của Powell, một số ủng hộ tăng lãi suất thêm lần nữa

The Huoxing Finance report, on August 28, according to Bloomberg, prior to Federal Reserve Chair Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole symposium, several Fed officials conveyed differing signals regarding inflation and interest rate prospects, with main分歧 centered on whether current rates have imposed sufficient restraint on the economy. Kansas City Fed President Jeff Schmid suggested that short-term rates may still be accommodative, indicating more work remains for the Fed. Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack also stated that current rates are insufficiently restrictive and that further policy tightening would be necessary to bring inflation down to 2% within a reasonable timeframe. Boston Fed President Susan Collins, however, viewed current rates as “moderately restrictive.” Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee said the Fed could continue waiting for inflation data, but expressed concern if service-sector inflation remains elevated or rises again. U.S. July PCE price index rose 3.7% year-over-year. Interest rate futures indicate the market expects a 36% probability of a Fed rate hike in September. The Fed maintained the federal funds rate at 3.5% to 3.75% in July, with three officials supporting a hike. Powell is scheduled to speak at 22:00 Beijing time on August 28.
