Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's reassuring message following the central bank’s monetary policy meeting may not calm frazzled US stock and bond investors, as uncertainty over the path of inflation intensifies the focus on upcoming data. Powell projects optimism but acknowledges that inflation data are crucial. He keeps rate cuts on the table but leaves the timing uncertain, while some analysts expect 100bp of cuts in 2024.

Powell is confident about growth, but rate cuts not so much https://t.co/QvdsAwxJ7W
