Important Economic Dynamics
▌Federal Reserve Musallem: There may be room for gradual relaxation of policy towards neutral interest rates
Federal Reserve Musallem said that there may be room for gradual relaxation of policy towards neutral interest rates, and stronger data may be behind the rise in Treasury term premiums. Data since the last policy meeting suggest that the economy may be much stronger than expected. Inflation data is also strong, but has not yet changed the view that policy is moving in a neutral direction. The latest consumer price index data is "in line with expectations", but it is more desirable to see a continued decline in the data on a three-month basis. It seems premature to include the prospect of US President-elect Trump's administration in December expectations. Economic activity and data have become stronger, bringing the risk of a rebound in inflation.
