Federal Reserve news

Fed's Miran (voter) says some of the concern he has on labour markets is a little less than he had before, adds a range of policies are pushing out the supply of the economy and will increase economic growth in a non-inflationary way

Says

  • Fed is one of the biggest risks to growth.
  • Monetary policy has passively tightened.
  • We may be underestimating how restrictive monetary policy actually is.

What it means

Miran's comments suggest a shift towards a more nuanced view of labor market concerns, indicating a potential easing of overly restrictive policies. His acknowledgment of tight monetary conditions could imply that the Fed's current stance is more restrictive than perceived, which may affect future monetary policy considerations. This could have significant implications for growth expectations and thereby influence USD and risk sentiment across markets.
