0:49Now PlayingFederal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said inflation had picked up but should move back toward the U.S. central bank’s 2% target once supply imbalances resolve.
“Inflation has increased notably in recent months,” Powell said in written remarks prepared for his Tuesday testimony before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, citing increases in oil prices and a “rebound” in spending as the U.S. economy reopens.
“As these transitory supply effects abate, inflation is expected to drop back toward our longer-run goal,” he said.
Powell’s remarks reprised his opening comments at his June 16 press conference, following a policy meeting of the central bank.
Investors will tune in to the hearing Tuesday for potential questions that shed more light on his view on the pace of the economic rebound and for how much longer the central bank should keep its monetary policy on an emergency footing.
