Conclusion du discours de Brainard (
FOMC):
"To conclude, much depends on the evolution of
Inflation. If, as many forecasters assume, the current shortfall of
Inflation from our 2 percent objective indeed proves transitory, further gradual increases in the federal funds rate would be warranted, perhaps along the lines of the median projection from the most recent SEP. But, as I noted earlier, I am concerned that the recent low readings for
Inflation may be driven by depressed underlying
Inflation, which would imply a more persistent shortfall in
Inflation from our objective. In that case, it would be prudent to raise the federal funds rate more gradually. We should have substantially more data in hand in the coming months that will help us make that assessment."
