Video Transcript

JENNIFER SCHONBERGER: So then given your assessment of the job market and new developments we've seen with OPEC cutting back on oil production, how does that inform your outlook for inflation.

JOHN WILLIAMS: Well, you know, inflation has started to come down. It peaked for the-- last year, around 7% on the personal consumptions, expenditure, price index that we follow at the Fed. It's down to about 5%, still way above our 2% goal. We're seeing inflation come down mostly now in the commodities and the goods prices. And I think that does reflect some of the pandemic effects, you know, fading.

We're seeing supply chains opening up much more globally. So those things are all good to bring down those factors of inflation. We're also seeing some signs that demand for housing is slowing. We're seeing then in the housing data. We're also seeing that in the rent data for the new, you know, rents that people are signing new lease, you know, their new leases on.

So we're seeing signs of inflation slowing, but inflation is still very high. And I would just mention that, you know, some of this core services inflation, excluding housing, that hasn't budged yet. So still got our work cut out for us to get inflation back to 2%

Inflation remains high, but there’s doubt that the Fed could keep boosting interest rates without sparking another banking crisis, and there’s real worry that the combination of high inflation, high rates, and an unstable banking sector may bring about a recession in the near term.

    U.S. House to vote on bill to address potential Huawei, ZTE threats

    The House of Representatives is set to vote next week on a bill to crack down on Chinese telecommunications companies Huawei and ZTE Corp that have been deemed security threats by the U.S. government. The House said on Tuesday it will take up a bipartisan bill called the Countering Untrusted Telecommunications Abroad Act that would require the State Department to report on U.S. NATO allies and others using telecommunication equipment or services in their 5G networks from companies like Huawei and ZTE. "We need to redouble our efforts to protect our national security and interests, help our allies take vital measures for their own security, and stand firmly in defense of fundamental rights," said Representative Susan Wild, the Democratic sponsor of the measure.

    New Florida board seeks power over Walt Disney World cities

    Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's newly formed oversight board is seeking to assert control over development in two cities where Walt Disney World Resort is located, the latest twist in a battle for authority over the company's Florida theme parks. A resolution, seen on Tuesday by Reuters, would give the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board the power to review and evaluate development in the 25,000-square acres of property in and around Walt Disney Co's theme parks. The district would hold "superior authority and control" over planning, zoning and other land use in the cities of Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista, under a Florida law that formed the state-appointed oversight board.

    In time the “Shanghai” upgrade may be remembered as a uniquely bullish event for ether (ETH), the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market value. In the short term, however, a number of the world’s leading Ethereum quant traders who historically have outperformed ETH staking yield believe price action will be neutral to potentially bearish due to the expected large increase in circulating supply of ETH after investors are finally able to withdraw their stakes. Over a longer time horizon Ethereum’s total switch to proof-of-stake is likely to only benefit the network and ETH’s price – enough so to possibly dethrone bitcoin (BTC) as the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market cap.

    Oil steady as market awaits key US inflation data

    (Reuters) -Oil prices were mostly steady on Wednesday as the market waited for U.S. inflation data later in the day that will likely influence the Federal Reserve's policy on future interest rate hikes. Prices had risen about 2% on Tuesday amid optimism that the U.S. Federal Reserve is getting closer to ending its cycle of interest rate hikes, making dollar-priced oil cheaper for buyers holding other currencies. Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank President Patrick Harker said on Tuesday that he feels the U.S. central bank may soon be done raising interest rates, while Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank President Neel Kashkari said he believes inflation, now at a rate of 5% by the Fed's preferred measure, will get to "the mid-threes" by the end of this year.
