Comments from the Fed's Harker and Powell are limited so far. The best I can do so far is Harker says:

  • Fed is working on stable prices and maximum employment

Fed Chair Powell weighs in saying:

  • Fed's ambition is sustained strong labor market
  • To get that price stability is needed. Fed is very focused on achieving price stability
  • As expansions get longer and longer more wage gains go to the lower part of the income spectrum
