Economista do governo Obama anterior: O Federal Reserve pode reduzir as Taxas de juros apenas uma vez este ano

Odaily Planet Daily News: Jason Furman, former senior economist of the Obama administration and current professor at Harvard University, believes that if the labor market remains healthy, the Federal Reserve may only cut interest rates once this year. Jason Furman said that the Federal Reserve has entered a new stage where it needs a reason to cut interest rates. Last year, the Federal Reserve believed that 'everything is fine, so it may as well cut interest rates.' However, if the labor market remains healthy, considering concerns about inflation prospects and uncertainty about whether interest rates are already at the optimal position for slowing demand, a 25 basis point cut in interest rates this year is the most likely to happen. No entanto, Jason Furman acrescentou que, se a situação mudar e a taxa de desemprego começar a subir, a Reserva Federal irá intervir e flexibilizar a política. (FXStreet)
