FEDERAL RESERVE'S CHAIRMAN, JEROME POWELL SPEAKING AT THE ECONOMIC CLUB OF NEW YORK.

"If you look at financial condition indexes, they're showing tightening. It's a lot because of the longer rates. Then the question is, is it endogenous and is it just... is it just because the market expects us to take things, to take further actions to tighten monetary policy? In which case you have to follow through. But that doesn't seem to be the case. It doesn't seem to be principally about expectations of us doing more. It seems that the other factors are, the more.... the more prominent ones."

“Look, I would... I would say it this way. The whole idea of a tightening policy is to affect financial conditions. And to the extent, higher bond rates reflect... they do, they are producing tighter financial conditions right now. So that is... that's how monetary policy works. That's literally how it works. So again, in principle, as long as bond rates are going up for some reason and they're not going up just because they expect us to do things, so that we don't do them, they'll come right back down. And we don't think that's the case, actually. I don't think that's the case. It doesn't seem to me that's what our analysis leads you. Then, sure, that's a tightening. That's exactly what we're trying to achieve.

”At the margin. it could. I mean, I think that remains to be seen. By the way, I'm not blessing any particular level of longer-term rates, but just in principle. That's right.”

”My colleagues and I remain resolute in our commitment to returning inflation to 2% over time. A range of uncertainties, both old ones and new ones, complicate our task of balancing the risk of tightening monetary policy too much against the risk of tightening too little. Doing too little could allow above-target inflation to become entrenched and ultimately require monetary policy to wring more persistent inflation from the economy at a high cost to employment. Doing too much could also do unnecessary harm to the economy. Given the uncertainties and risks and given how far we've come, the committee is proceeding carefully. We will make decisions about the extent of additional policy firming and how long policy will remain restrictive based on the totality of the incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks.”

“You know, all I want to do is do the best job I can for the public that we all serve. And yes, there's a lot that is enjoyable about it, but mostly it's just so important to get it right. And that's what we're trying to do.”
