The post Inflation on path to 2%, not a barrier to rate cuts appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Federal Reserve (Fed) Governor Christopher Waller spoke about interest rates, inflation and growth, discussing the US economic outlook in the year ahead. Among other things, Waller noted that he could see a slower path of rate cuts if GDP holds up or the job market speeds up, but added that inflation on its path to 2% is not a barrier to rate cuts. Key takeaways Inflation on path to 2%, not a barrier to rate cuts. The rate outlook after October is dependent on the labour market. If the job market continues to weaken, the Fed should cut toward a neutral rate. Rate cuts beyond the October meeting will depend on data. The neutral interest rate is about 100 to 125 basis points lower than the current Fed Funds Rate. I see a slower path of rate cuts if GDP holds up or the job market speeds up. The labor market is sending ‘clear warnings’ that the Fed should be ready to act. Main focus now is on the state of the job market. Fed’s Waller: Tariffs having modest inflation impact, inflation on track for 2%. A no-hire, no-fire job market is ominous. Alternative data shows a mixed picture for the job market. I see conflict between strong economic growth and a weakening job market. The labor market data contradicts signs of stronger growth.

France’s Macron says UN snapback sanctions on Iran coming in a week

The post France’s Macron says UN snapback sanctions on Iran coming in a week appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. French President Emmanuel Macron told Israel’s Channel 12 on Thursday that United Nations sanctions on Iran will be back in force at the end of September. Asked directly if the sanctions were a “done deal,” Macron replied, “Yes, I think so. Because the latest news we have from the Iranians are not serious.” Macron then explained that Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi “tried to make a reasonable offer” to European leaders, but his plan lacked support from others inside the Iranian leadership. On Wednesday, Iran gave Britain, Germany, and France a proposal aimed at avoiding sanctions. European leaders advance snapback mechanism Axios had reported that a draft resolution to extend the suspension of sanctions was circulated at the UN Security Council on Thursday, with a vote planned for Friday. But the draft is unlikely to pass, meaning the snapback mechanism would move forward, restoring sanctions on Iran come September 27. Britain, France, and Germany triggered the snapback process on August 28 under Resolution 2231. They demanded Iran return to negotiations, allow wider inspections, and explain missing uranium stockpiles. Araghchi warned last week that if sanctions return, “they will be excluded from nuclear negotiations with the Islamic Republic.” Oil prices showed little reaction to the political drama. Brent crude slipped 1 cent to $67.43 per barrel, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate dipped 4 cents to $63.53. Both benchmarks remained on track for a second week of gains, even as the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates. The E3 offered to delay the sanctions for six months if Iran allowed inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency back into nuclear facilities and opened talks with Washington. Inspectors also sought answers about Iran’s enriched uranium stocks, which remain uncertain since Israeli and U.S. strikes hit Iranian nuclear sites in June. Germany warns sanctions…
