Jerome Powell, US Federal Reserve Chairman, makes dovish comments

"Inflation may not reach 2% until late next year or the year after," U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said in a speech on Tuesday. "Inflation is showing signs of decelerating, but we need more data before we can cut rates," he said in his speech. If the labor market unexpectedly weakens, we will respond, but the labor market remains strong."
