Easymarkets Easy Letter: Yellen’s speech does not mention monetary policy prospects

Yellen pointed out that the US economy is performing quite well, the labor market is generally strong, and the salary growth rate has also been boosted. In addition, the inflation rate in the United States has risen from a low level, although inflation is below the 2% target, it is very close. Yellen also said that there will be no major obstacles to the economy in the short term. Long-term obstacles include issues such as productivity and imbalances. The Fed is working hard to ensure that the job market remains strong.

According to data released by the US Department of Labor on Thursday (January 12), the number of jobless claims in the US on January 7 was better than expected. It has been below 300,000 for 97 consecutive weeks; potential trends indicate that the current labor market is Tightening and starting to boost salary growth is further accelerated. US Labor Department analysts said that last week's data statistics included the New Year holiday, considering that it will be affected by the holiday factors, it is expected that the data trend will appear to a certain degree of fluctuation at the beginning of this year. We believe that although the US non-farm payrolls data showed a slight decline in December, the salary growth rate was the best in 7 years, and the number of initial jobless claims also performed well, indicating that the US labor market is still healthy.
