  1. He didn't say anything other than reiterate multiple times that they will use the available tools to maintain price stability and ensure inflation gets to 2%. He refused to give a clear answer on what "confidence" looks like with regards to inflation coming down in a sustained fashion. An absolute regurgitation of past talking points with no meaningful insight. The FED boxed themselves into a corner with a 50 basis points hike weeks ago with their rhetoric and talking heads. The yield inversion curves front to back are screaming yet they are ignoring them. Look back in history and its not hard to see the FED is usually wrong and the market is usually right. They are simply out of touch.

  2. So now we will never build houses or make cars, refrigerators, (things needed for the house market) because we do not have enough people

    So raising interest rate will bring 1.5 million people from the death (documented and undocumented)?

    Jerome Powell does not understand that he will not be able to bring 2 million people from retirement

    Jerome Powell does not understand that by himself he will not solve the problem, and he needs to recommend a solution to the congress, we need to bring people to this country through a new immigration law, we need to learn from Canada, Australia, and Europe.

    Take example Canada for the last 35 years they have been bringing the best of the best from all over the world, they are making sure there is young people who work and pay to the social security.

    In a health country, it is like a triangle where you have few old people at the top and a lot of young people at the bottom working and paying taxes to social security to support the retired old people (example 5 young people pay taxes to the social security, and one elderly person get the money from the social security). But in the U.S. we have the triangle upside down where we have a lot of elderly people takin money from the social security and few young people paying to the taxes to social security (example 2 young people pay taxes to the social security, and 5 elderly, they get the money from the social security).

    So our product it will be expensive to export, because of high labor cost, high value of the Dollar, high interest rate on loans, and the extra taxes we put on the business.

    When we lose our client over sea and we have a recession, it is simple he lower the interest rate, and get our old client back, it that simple.

    I did not like Jerome Powell complain (whine) I told the congress we need a new immigration policy, he told them one sentence not whole meeting about this subject

  3. Stop having kids y’all! No one asks to be born, & no one has the moral right to inflict serious, preventable harms upon others without their consent—harms being pain, fear, worry, sickness, injury, grief/loss, fatigue, death. Besides, it’s morally wrong to place someone in a position from which death is the only escape…

  4. He lets out a little grimace and makes a brow wipe at 4:30ish. Like the market, he doesn’t believe the PCE projections for 24 and 25. Inflation expectations are anchored, base effects are dropping out and growth is slowing; PCE will be negative by start of Q3 next year.

  5. # Persistent PowellㅡYou're bothering the stock market till the end?

    # If the economy declines in 2023, it will cut interest rates in a hurry, right?

  6. "labor market is out of balance, with demand exceeding workers"
    high demand, low workers = high demand, low supply. of course we going down more. we have to make it HIGH WORKERS to satisfy HIGH DEMAND. but then we have inflation again. so we need LOW demand, which humans won't do cuz they love spending . so we are due for a huge collapse, its common sense at this point.
    PLUS, we at 7.1% inflation right now, we just started the downtrend. WE TRYNA MAKE 7.1% into 2%. I'm thinking we got another 2 years of recession mode. 9.1% into 7.1% took this long. Imagine how long 7.1% into 2% gonna take.

  7. We need 100% interest rates until savers recover from low interest on savings since the too big to fail days.

  8. Thanks for this information 🙏🤒🤕😢😢. Coming soon raising interest rates and inflation next year for importers countries 🙏😢😢. I hope everyone can stay their health 🙏☺️❤️

  9. May God bless Powell has the termination to fight inflation. Don't speak like a Paul Volcker, and act like a weed on the wall.

  10. A dovish half percent hike and a very Merry Christmas to you all and happy holidays to whom it may concern.

  11. The REAL rate of inflation is double digits… If you have to, raise the Fed rate to 10-18%, whatever and let's get over this negativity! That is where you are going to go anyways.Get preemptive and proactive!

  26. 特斯拉决对是长期饭票的代言人,我永久记得在2019 10月份所有媒体对特斯拉的报导,大家都认为这间公司会倒闭,到最后升了40多倍,又怎么说?。。,

  27. Powell is a clown. Working with a lagging CPI that would actually be negative M/M if shelter is measured correctly is wrong and Powell has yet again demonstrated how stupid Fed policies are harming Americans through unnecessary booms and busts. Biden should fire this moron

  28. Bitcoin trading right now will be at every
    wise individuals list. In few months you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today

  29. The good news is that interest rate cycles are decades long. Because that is what it will take for the fed funds rate to "tackle" inflation here.

  30. That’s a big greasy don’t you think? We are not going to bail you out this time buddy.

  31. we should investigate Paul, because I think that he is in cahoots with all streets, big banks, and Big Oil.

  32. Of course, unemployment is low because 1 million people died, and they won’t let our season of migrant workers in

  33. The only reason we are still going through. This is because of price gouging. We really don’t have a way to stop companies from doing this. Or do we?
    If we keep voting Democratic and get a Democratic house and senate, we can put some control on these businesses that think they are in control of America, not the government.
