Fed’s Powell cautions about higher long-term rates as ‘supply shocks’ provide policy challenges

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell recently addressed the changes in the economy and the ongoing policy review during the Thomas Laubach Research Conference held by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Powell emphasized that longer-term interest rates are likely to be higher as the economy evolves and policy remains uncertain.

Reflecting on the central bank’s policy framework review, Powell acknowledged the significant changes that have occurred over the past five years. The Fed experienced a period of elevated inflation, leading to aggressive interest rate hikes. Despite inflation expectations aligning with the Fed’s 2% target, Powell indicated that the era of near-zero interest rates is unlikely to return in the near future.

Powell highlighted the possibility of higher real rates due to potential volatility in inflation and more frequent supply shocks. These challenges could complicate the Fed’s efforts to support employment while managing inflation. The Fed maintained near-zero interest rates for seven years following the 2008 financial crisis and has gradually increased rates since December 2024.

The recent remarks by Powell on “supply shocks” echo his previous warnings about the complexities of navigating policy changes amidst economic uncertainties. While he did not specifically mention President Trump’s tariffs in his speech, Powell has acknowledged the potential impact of tariffs on economic growth and inflation.

The ongoing framework review aims to develop a five-year plan for guiding decisions and enhancing communication with the public. Powell emphasized the importance of reassessing the Fed’s approach to inflation targeting and employment goals. The review will also focus on improving communication strategies to convey the uncertainty surrounding economic outlooks.

Powell did not provide a specific timeline for completing the review but expressed that it would be finalized in the coming months. In previous reviews, Powell used annual remarks at the Fed’s retreat in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to outline policy changes.

Overall, Powell’s remarks underscore the challenges and uncertainties facing the Fed as it navigates evolving economic conditions and policy decisions. The ongoing review will play a crucial role in shaping the Fed’s approach to achieving its dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment.
