During the annual Jackson Hole meeting for the central banks, the present Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell came forward to address the cabinet.
His comments were hawkish and filled with a bearish stance that is going to take over the financial markets in the coming future; there was nothing bullish in his whole address which he made at the Jackson Hole about the doom that is inflation and how one can beat it and what the Fed is doing to strike it out.
He said that the CPI numbers from July are definitely a step in the right direction, but these are far from depicting that the job of deteriorating inflation and making it go away is over.
2%, according to Jerome Powell, is the agreed inflation goal of not only the Fed but other regulatory parties that are involved in this transition. At present, inflation is close to approaching the double digits, which would be wreaking havoc in the imminent future, something no one wishes to see.
The financial markets are nothing but a dreadful sight of doom and gloom, investors are reluctant to put their foot down and invest their hard-earned money at the moment, and the situation is not getting steadier despite consistent tries from the state and the regulatory bodies to do so.
Restoring the Balance will Take Time, Says Jerome Powell
Price stability, according to Jerome, needs to be restored, and the Fed is doing everything in its power to make it happen, but these kinds of things take time.
The demand within the financial sector for certain stocks, commodities, and cryptocurrencies is at an all-time high, whereas the supply is nowhere near to ascertain the demand.
The future growth might be below trend if the ghost of inflation is to be captured and tamed to an earlier agreeable state, said Powell during his address at the Jackson Hole. This kind of confirms the worst fears of the traders within the financial markets; gone are the days when they were able to earn substantial returns on their investments; at present, it is all about survival.
