WASHINGTON, July 14 (Reuters) – The U.S. job market “is still a ways off” from the progress the Federal Reserve wants to see before reducing its support for the economy, while current high inflation will ease “in coming months,” Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in remarks prepared for delivery at a congressional hearing on Wednesday.
“Inflation has increased notably and will likely remain elevated in coming months before moderating,” Powell said, restating the U.S. central bank’s faith that current price increases, despite the concerns they are raising about unmoored inflation, are tied to the reopening of the economy and will prove fleeting.
