美联储戴利强调不改变双重使命目标,但愿以新方法评估经济
Odaily Planet Daily News: Fed's Daly said inflation should begin to slow, but the economic outlook remains highly uncertain. "We continue to keep policy at a slightly restrictive level, so inflation should come down," Daly said on Thursday at an event hosted by the Bank of Spain in Santander, Spain. Daly noted that tariffs and rising oil prices pushed inflation higher this spring following the U.S. war with Iran.
She commended the recent retreat in oil prices following a ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran, calling it a "relief" but warning that it is still unclear how the economy will evolve. She outlined several scenarios that could require different responses from the Fed and said the central bank may need to be more aggressive in responding to persistent inflation.
Daly also indicated that she is open to using different and novel approaches to assessing the economy. However, she stressed that for the Fed's credibility, it is important not to change its dual mandate goals of promoting maximum employment and stable prices. (Jin Shi)
