NASDAQ: US Stocks Rebound As Powell Signals Fed Will Proceed 'Carefully' On Interest Rates: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Thursday saw the U.S. stock market displaying mixed performance as 10-year Treasury yields approached the 5% threshold, only to recover in response to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell‘s opening remarks prior to his Economic Club of New York address, prompting traders to scale back their expectations for interest rate increases.

The FOMC is now proceeding carefully, acknowledging that substantial tightening in financial conditions can result from an increase in bond yields, subsequently affecting policy decisions, Powell said. A period of above-trend growth may still imply “meaningful tightening” of interest rates, he said.

REUTERS: Fed Chair Powell: bond yield rise could mean Fed needs to do less

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Thursday said the recent rise in longer-term bond yields is tightening financial conditions as the central bank wants and could “at the margin” mean there is less need for the Fed to increase rates further.

“It doesn’t seem to be principally about expectations of us doing more,” Powell told the Economic Club of New York. It looks to be mainly an effect of higher so-called term premiums, he said, and does not reflect expectations for higher inflation. He added he is “not blessing any particular level” of longer-term rates.

ASSOCIATED PRESS: Fed Chair Powell: Slower economic growth may be needed to conquer stubbornly high inflation

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Thursday that inflation remains too high and that bringing it down to the Fed's target level will likely require a slower-growing economy and job market.

Powell noted that inflation has cooled significantly from a year ago. But he cautioned that the economy is growing faster than the Fed had expected and could continue to keep inflation elevated. As a result, the Fed chair said, it's not yet clear whether inflation is on a steady path back to the Fed's 2% target.

“We certainly have a very resilient economy on our hands,” Powell said in a discussion at the Economic Club of New York. “Many forecasts called for the U.S. economy to be in recession this year. Not only has that not happened; growth is now running for this year above its longer-run trend. So that’s been a surprise.”
