Krawez: Inflation, the Fed, and a Soft Landing

August 26, 2024

The Fed recently held their annual Jackson Hole economic symposium where Fed Chair Jerome Powell shared remarks regarding the economy and inflation, which he believes is on a sustainable path back to the Fed’s 2% goal. “The Fed has a really tough job, and I think this speech was a humble victory speech for Chair Powell,” said Brian Krawez, president of Scharf Investments during a recent appearance on Reuters TV. He noted that Powell took a lot of heat when inflation was at 9%, but that the Fed’s data-driven approach and Powell’s leadership should be appreciated given where we are today.
