Powell said the central bank's Federal Open Market Committee has made "quite a bit of progress" in bringing inflation back to its target, but it needs to see more encouraging data before lowering interest rates, CNBC reported.

"The last (inflation) reading and the one before it to a lesser extent, suggest that we are getting back on the disinflationary path," Powell reportedly said at a central banking forum in Portugal. "We want to be more confident that inflation is moving sustainably down toward 2% before we start the process of reducing or loosening policy."
据报道，鲍威尔在葡萄牙的一场央行论坛上表示：“上一次（通胀）数据和前一次（通胀）数据，虽然程度不同，但都表明我们正在重返通货紧缩道路。在我们开始降低或放松政策的进程之前，我们想更有信心地认为通货膨胀正在持续地向2%水平下降。”

"The labor market is healthy enough to allow the Fed to be patient before lowering interest rates, although recent favorable inflation data give the Fed more latitude to respond to any surprising signs of weakness in the labor market," the firm said.
"牛津经济学"在一份报告中表示，调查显示劳动力市场没有"重大缺陷"。"劳动力市场足够健康，允许美联储在降低利率之前保持耐心，尽管最近有利的通胀数据为美联储在劳动力市场出现任何出人意料的弱势迹象时提供了更多的回应余地。"
