Fed’s Powell Says Rate Cuts Can Sustain Soft Landing, but Sees No Need to Rush
Lower Interest Rates Don’t Guarantee a Soft Landing
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the economy was in solid shape. “We intend to use our tools to keep it there,” he added.
soft landing: a situation where the economy slows down just enough to curb inflation without falling into a recession. In other words, it’s an attempt to balance growth with inflation control, preventing a sharp economic downturn.
soft landing이란 경제가 과열된 상태에서 침체로 가지 않고 성장률을 천천히 낮추며 안정적으로 가는 상황을 의미합니다. 금리인하가 경기 부양책 중 하나이지만, 경제 성장을 유지하는데 항상 성공적인 결과를 보장하지는 않음을 말합니다.
German Inflation Falls Further Below ECB Target
German inflation declined further below the European Central Bank’s 2% target in September, further raising the pressure for a consecutive interest-rate cut at the bank’s next meeting in October.
독일의 9월 물가 상승률이 ECB의 2% 목표보다 낮아졌습니다. 이는, 다음 회의때 금리를 연속적으로 인하할 압력이 증가하고 있음을 시사합니다. 물가상승률이 낮다는 것은 일반적으로 긍정적인 신호로 간주되지만, 지나치게 낮은 인플레이션의 경우 경제 성장 둔화와 관련이 있을수 있기에, 이는 ECB의 금리인하를 고려하게 만들 수 있습니다. ECB의 목표는 인플레이션 수치를 2%로 유지하는 것입니다.
