Odaily星球日报讯 美联储理事库格勒表示，政策制定者必须把重点放在美联储的通胀和就业目标上，她指出劳动力市场正在降温，美联储 2%的通胀目标进展缓慢。库格勒周四在事先准备好的讲话中表示：“反通胀趋势持续放缓，劳动力市场降温，这意味着我们需要继续关注两个方面的任务。”她表示：“如果出现任何阻碍进展或重新加速通胀的风险，暂停我们的政策降息将是合适的。但如果劳动力市场突然放缓，继续逐步降低政策利率将是合适的。”库格勒表示，薪资放缓和稳定的通胀预期可能会让物价增长进一步放缓，但房屋和其他类别的顽固通胀可能会阻碍进一步的进展。（金十）

美联储理事库格勒：必须同时关注通胀和就业目标

Odaily Odaily News: Federal Reserve Governor Kugler said policymakers must focus on the Fed&#39;s inflation and employment goals, noting that the labor market is cooling and the Fed&#39;s 2% inflation target is progressing slowly. &quot;The continued slowdown in anti-inflation trends and the cooling of the labor market mean that we need to continue to focus on two tasks,&quot; Kugler said in prepared remarks on Thursday. &quot;If there are any risks that hinder progress or re-accelerate inflation, it would be appropriate to pause our policy rate cuts. But if the labor market slows abruptly, it would be appropriate to continue to gradually reduce the policy rate.&quot; Kugler said that slowing wages and stable inflation expectations could slow price growth further, but stubborn inflation in housing and other categories could hinder further progress.

Fed Governor Kugler: We must focus on both inflation and employment goals

Odaily Planet Daily Report: Federal Reserve's Lael Brainard stated that the Federal Reserve will "most likely" need to cut rates further, but should "act with caution". If the Federal Reserve cuts rates excessively, beyond the neutral level, inflation may reaccelerate. The Federal Reserve has made "significant progress" in lowering inflation and restoring economic balance, and it is difficult to determine how many rate cuts are needed and how quickly they should be implemented. (Note: Brainard's remarks on Wednesday were prepared before the release of the October CPI data. (Gold Ten))

Fed's Logan: Fed likely needs to cut rates further but should proceed with caution

Odaily Planet Daily Report: Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard firmly defended the central bank's independence on Thursday, saying that keeping monetary policy decisions free from political influence can improve inflation outcomes. Brainard stated that the independence of the central bank is the "fundamental" to achieving low inflation, especially in developed economies. Brainard said that as part of credibility, it is crucial for the central bank to maintain transparency and accountability. Using the Federal Reserve as an example, she said that officials such as Fed Chair Powell have tried to clearly explain the Fed's goals and actions. "Monetary policy works in part by trying to influence the public's view of the future state of the economy, so clearly communicating those intentions is crucial," she said. This helps to establish credibility by lending legitimacy to decision-making, and can make policy decisions more effective. Brainard said: "If the central bank takes actions that make the public believe the central bank is actively pursuing its stated objectives, then the central bank will be more credible."

Odaily Planet Daily Report: Federal Reserve Chair Barr stated that the economic conditions are good, which allows the Federal Reserve to lower borrowing costs. "Strong but more discerning consumers, coupled with a more productive and higher-value workforce, have made the economic situation very favorable." Barr said in a speech prepared for the Baltimore Joint Summit on Tuesday. "Regardless of how the economy develops, the Federal Reserve has the ability to respond appropriately," he said, noting that interest rates have moved away from their peak but are still higher than historical lows. Barr said he is considering two scenarios for the economy: as the uncertainty of the election subsides, businesses may begin to reinvest and hire again, allowing the Federal Reserve to focus on the upside risks to inflation. Alternatively, businesses may resort to layoffs to cope with the profit margin pressure caused by weakening pricing power, which will increase the employment risks facing the Federal Reserve.
