(Reuters) – The lack of clear visibility into the future trajectory of the economy means the Federal Reserve can provide reliable guidance about where its policy is headed only on a “meeting by meeting” basis, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said on Wednesday.
Powell said there is “significantly” more uncertainty now than is normally the case, meaning officials cannot provide the longer-term guidance on the level and trajectory of interest rates that they had in the past.
