Comment:
Canadian inflation slowed to an annualized 3.8% in September, marking the end of a two-month surge in price pressures across sectors such as travel services, durable goods, and groceries, according to the Bank of Canada’s Business Outlook Survey and Consumer Expectations report.
Jerome Powell said yesterday in his speech that they are committed to returning inflation to 2 percent over time. Turning to monetary policy, the FOMC has tightened policy substantially over the past 18 months, increasing the federal funds rate by 525 basis points at a historically fast pace and decreasing our securities holdings by roughly $1 trillion.
