Powell discusses how monetary policymakers arrive at consensus, the value of transparency and the issues that influence interest rate decisions.

Fed Chairman Powell told a congressional committee not to expect a victory lap when and if the Fed decides it has finally beaten inflation.

“Wage growth now is greater than inflation,” Bostic says. “But I don’t think people feel like they’ve caught up all the way and that’s just going to take some time.”

Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell said that we “don’t really know” why long-term bond yields have been going up.

Former Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke’s new book charts a history of “remarkable innovation and change.”
