(Reuters) – The “ultimate level” of the Federal Reserve’s benchmark policy rate is likely higher than previously estimated, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said on Wednesday.
In remarks at a press conference after the Fed raised rates by 75 basis points for a fourth consecutive meeting, Powell said there is “significant uncertainty” around the level of rates needed to bring down inflation, but “we still have some ways to go.”
