🔸 Powell Says Fed Not in a Hurry, Will Lower Rates “Over Time”. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank will lower interest rates “over time,” while again emphasizing that the overall US economy remains on solid footing. Powell also reiterated his confidence that inflation will continue moving toward the Fed’s 2% target, adding that economic conditions “set the table” for a further easing of price pressures. “Looking forward, if the economy evolves broadly as expected, policy will move over time toward a more neutral stance,” Powell said in a speech in Nashville at the annual meeting of the National Association for Business Economics. “But we are not on any preset course,” he said, noting that policy makers will continue to make decisions meeting by meeting based on incoming economic data. $CSOP USD Money Market Fund$
