Powell said that inflation in the United States has been somewhat alleviated, but there is still a long way to go to bring inflation down to 2%. The labor market remains very tight. Federal Reserve staff no longer predict that the U.S. economy will enter a recession. He emphasized that current policies are already restrictive, and interest rates should be maintained at a restrictive level for a considerable period of time.
