Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell indicated Friday that the central bank is likely to begin withdrawing some of its easy-money policies before the end of the year. Rate hikes aren’t imminent as there is still “much ground to cover” before the economy hits full employment. He also believes that not everyone agrees on the current inflation trend, that inflation winds whipping through the U.S. economy this year soon will subside.
For the job market, Powell said employment gains have come faster than expected, although the Delta variant presents a near-term risk for full employment. Stocks are modestly higher at the open. The Fed will be purchasing up to $4.897B in mortgage-backed-securities today.

美联储主席杰罗姆鲍威尔周五表示,美联储可能会在年底前开始撤回部分宽松货币政策。但他表示,加息并非迫在眉睫,因为在经济达到充分就业之前仍有“很多地方需要完全恢复”。他还认为,今年席卷美国经济的通胀风将很快消退,这一点并未得到普遍认同。
就勞工市场而言,鲍威尔表示,就业增长速度快于预期,尽管 Delta 变量存在充分就业的近期风险。

Loans are subject to credit and collateral approval. Advertised rates are based on a set of loan assumptions including a borrower with excellent credit history and optimal loan characteristics. Your final interest rate and annual percentage rate (APR) may differ depending on your individual transaction’s specific characteristics, and certain products may not be available for your situation. Several determining factors include, but are not limited to, the state of the property location, loan amount, documentation type, loan type, occupancy type, property type, loan to value, and credit score. APR reflects the cost of credit over the term of the loan expressed as an annual rate. For mortgage loans, APR may include the interest rate, discount points (also referred to as “points”), and other charges or fees (such as mortgage insurance and origination fees), but does not necessarily take into account other loan-specific finance charges you may be required to pay.
