Fed Goolsbee comments US economy and change in market conditions💲EURUSD gains 0.6%

1:43 PM 5 August 2024

Fed Austen Goolsbee commented US economy. The US 2-year/10-year Treasury yield curve turns positive today, for the first time since July 2022.

  • The Fed will respond to conditions. If the economy deteriorates, the Fed will fix it.
  • The stock market has a lot more volatility than the Fed. It seems like there is a lot going on in the world, which makes things a little more complicated.
  • On the other side, the GDP number was a bit stronger than expected. Economic growth continues at a steady level.
  • That said, there are cautionary indicators in other data, such as business defaults.
  • We expected some weakness in manufacturing due to pandemic effects.
  • We must be a little careful overconcluding about the jobs report. The manufacturing sector is a little complicated.
  • The Fed does need to be forward-looking in making decisions.
  • The jobs numbers were weaker than expected but is not looking yet like a recession.
  • You only want to be that restrictive if there is fear of overheating. The data does not look like the economy is overheating.
  • If the stock market moves gives the Fed indication over a longer-arc that we are looking at deceleration in growth, we should react to that.
  • If jobs data is a longer-term sign, we should then respond to what those forces are.
  • The Fed's job is not to react to one month's numbers on jobs.
  • We can't blow through normal on jobs. If we do, we'll have to react more robustly.
  • The Fed can wait for more data before the September meeting.
  • We should respond to conditions on the broad through line; inflation is way down and employment is at a relatively decent spot.
  • If we are not overheating, we should not tighten our restrictiveness in real terms.
  • You only want to be there for as long as you have to. We are restrictive in real terms at the highest in many decades.
  • There is some weakness in the jobs market, we have to pay attention to that. I have been saying for some time we are in a balanced risk posture.
