THE POWELL MOVE

Powell gave no indication of how high interest rates might rise before the Fed is finished, only that they will move as high as needed as it seeks to bring down inflation to its 2% target.

• The U.S. economy will need tight monetary policy "for some time" before inflation is under control, which means slower growth, a weaker job market and "some pain" for households and businesses, Powell said on Friday in remarks that warned there is no quick cure for fast rising prices.

• Major benchmark indices retreated on early Asian session following Fed Chair Powell’s comments at the Jackson Hole Symposium, signaling a willingness to hike interest rates even if it causes economic pain.

BE CAREFUL, HAPPY TRADING
