Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said Thursday at a Dallas Regional Chamber event that strong U.S. economic growth gives policymakers the flexibility to take a careful approach in deciding interest rate cuts. He emphasized that the economy is not signaling a need for immediate rate reductions, pointing to robust domestic growth as the strongest among major economies. Powell also highlighted the resilience of the labor market, despite weaker job growth in October, and noted that inflation is steadily moving toward the Fed’s 2% target. While recent inflation data showed slight upticks in consumer and producer prices, Powell reaffirmed the Fed's commitment to reaching its 2% goal, acknowledging that the path may be uneven.
