Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Wednesday the central bank will keep raising interest rates to fight inflation but at a slower pace, signaling a slow-down in rate hikes that have raised costs on new mortgages and car payments to slow the economy.
In a Wednesday speech, Powell said that despite a recent slowdown in price growth officials are looking for “substantially more evidence to give comfort that inflation is actually declining.”
