Powell said the central bank's Federal Open Market Committee has made "quite a bit of progress" in bringing inflation back to its target, but it needs to see more encouraging data before lowering interest rates, CNBC reported.
CNBC報道稱，鮑威爾表示，聯儲局的聯邦公開市場委員會在將通脹帶回目標方面取得了"相當大的進展"，但在降低利率之前需要看到更多鼓勵人心的數據。
"The last (inflation) reading and the one before it to a lesser extent, suggest that we are getting back on the disinflationary path," Powell reportedly said at a central banking forum in Portugal. "We want to be more confident that inflation is moving sustainably down toward 2% before we start the process of reducing or loosening policy."
據報道，鮑威爾在葡萄牙的一場央行論壇上表示：“上一次（通脹）數據和前一次（通脹）數據，雖然程度不同，但都表明我們正在重返通貨緊縮道路。在我們開始降低或放鬆政策的進程之前，我們想更有信心地認爲通貨膨脹正在持續地向2%水平下降。”

The survey showed "no major cracks" in the labor market, Oxford Economics said in a note. "The labor market is healthy enough to allow the Fed to be patient before lowering interest rates, although recent favorable inflation data give the Fed more latitude to respond to any surprising signs of weakness in the labor market," the firm said.
"牛津經濟學"在一份報告中表示，調查顯示勞動力市場沒有"重大缺陷"。"勞動力市場足夠健康，允許聯儲局在降低利率之前保持耐心，儘管最近有利的通脹數據爲聯儲局在勞動力市場出現任何出人意料的弱勢跡象時提供了更多的回應餘地。"
