US Economic Strength Confounds Fed

Top International News

US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has acknowledged the recent strength of the US economy caught central bank policymakers by surprise. Following the bank’s September rate-decision meeting, at which it opted to keep rates steady, Chair Powell noted that “If the economy comes in stronger than expected … we’ll have to do more in terms of monetary policy.” Is the bank signaling that its stance will remain hawkish for longer?
