How the Fed got it right by showing patience
The Federal Reserve got a lot of attention today for putting out a statement changing its previous promise that it would be “patient’’ before cutting interest rates — even as it declined to cut rates now. Instead, he pointed out that the most-recent data is actually quite a bit better (just in the last week, really, led by June 14’s retail sales report) than what had gotten traders so riled in May. He noted that consumer spending is 70% of the economy, and that the service sector is strong, while manufacturing is weakening thanks to pressures on trade that he was too polite to point out are President Donald Trump’s fault. “Risks to the baseline scenario have clearly risen, but it’s important that monetary policy not overreact,” Powell said.
