FED POWELL: LAYOFFS AND HIRING REMAIN LOW, BUT SEPT DATA SHOW UNEMPLOYMENT EDGED UP, JOB GAINS SLOWED SHARPLY, AND LABOR DEMAND HAS CLEARLY SOFTENED
(@FirstSquaw)

FED POWELL: LABOR MARKET IS LESS DYNAMIC AND SOFTER WITH DOWNSIDE RISKS, WHILE INFLATION REMAINS SOMEWHAT ELEVATED
(@FirstSquaw)

FED POWELL: INFLATION RISKS ARE TILTED UP, EMPLOYMENT RISKS TILTED DOWN, AND THERE IS NO RISK-FREE POLICY PATH.
(@FirstSquaw)

FED POWELL: DOWNSIDE EMPLOYMENT RISKS HAVE RISEN AND SHIFTED THE RISK BALANCE, AND FURTHER POLICY NORMALIZATION OVER RECENT MEETINGS SHOULD HELP STABILIZE THE LABOR MARKET AND EASE INFLATION PRESSURES.
(@FirstSquaw)

FED POWELL: WELL POSITIONED TO ADJUST POLICY RATES, BUT SAYS POLICYMAKER PROJECTIONS ARE UNCERTAIN AND NOT A PLAN OR DECISION.
(@FirstSquaw)

FED POWELL: RESERVE BALANCES HAVE FALLEN TO AMPLE LEVELS AND PURCHASES ARE SOLELY FOR RESERVE MANAGEMENT.
(@FirstSquaw)

FED POWELL: RESERVE-MANAGEMENT PURCHASES MAY STAY ELEVATED FOR MONTHS TO EASE MONEY-MARKET PRESSURES, THEN DECLINE, AND SAYS STANDING REPO OPERATIONS ARE CRITICAL TO KEEP FED FUNDS IN TARGET RANGE.
(@FirstSquaw)

FED POWELL: “EXTENT AND TIMING” SIGNALS THE FED WILL CAREFULLY EVALUATE ALL INCOMING DATA.
(@FirstSquaw)

FED POWELL: TREASURY PURCHASES MAY REMAIN ELEVATED FOR A FEW MONTHS.

FED POWELL: CONSUMER SPENDING REMAINS RESILIENT, AI DATA-CENTER INVESTMENT IS SUPPORTING BUSINESS SPENDING, AND THE BASELINE OUTLOOK SEES GROWTH PICKING UP NEXT YEAR.
(@FirstSquaw)

FED POWELL: FISCAL POLICY WILL BE SUPPORTIVE, BASELINE EXPECTS SOLID GROWTH NEXT YEAR, AND THE FED WILL RECEIVE A LOT OF NEW DATA BEFORE THE JANUARY MEETING.
(@FirstSquaw)

FED POWELL: WE CAN WAIT AND SEE HOW THE ECONOMY EVOLVES, AND CURRENT PROJECTIONS IMPLY HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY.

(@FirstSquaw)

(@FirstSquaw)

USTR: TARIFF WILL START AT 0% ON JAN 1, 2026, RISE TO 10% ON JAN 1, 2027, AND THEN TO 15% ON JAN 1, 2028.
(@FirstSquaw)

FED POWELL: OUR TWO GOALS ARE IN TENSION; EVERYONE AGREES INFLATION IS TOO HIGH AND THE LABOR MARKET HAS SOFTENED WITH FURTHER RISKS.
(@FirstSquaw)

FED POWELL: DISCUSSIONS ARE THOUGHTFUL AND RESPECTFUL WITH STRONG VIEWS, BUT WE COME TOGETHER TO REACH DECISIONS, AND THERE WAS BROAD SUPPORT FOR TODAY’S DECISION.
(@FirstSquaw)

FED POWELL: BROAD SUPPORT FOR TODAY’S DECISION, RATE-CUT EFFECTS ARE JUST BEGINNING TO SHOW, AND THE FED MUST CAREFULLY ASSESS HOUSEHOLD SURVEY DATA.
