The chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, found on Tuesday that wealth prices, a category that usually includes stocks and other risk instruments are at increased level.
During a speech in Providence, Rhode Island, the central bank guide was asked how much emphasis he and his colleagues put on market prices and whether they have a higher tolerance to higher values.
“We look at the general financial conditions and ask ourselves whether our guidelines influence the financial conditions in a way that we want to achieve,” said Powell. “But you are right, for example, for many measures, for example the equity prices quite high.”
In the run -up to the political meetings of the past week, shares and other assets were strongly gathered than the conviction that the Federal Open Market Committee would lower its benchmark overnight. The shares have continued to increase and have set a number of record heights for important average values since the decision on Wednesday to reduce a quarter of the percentage point.
“The markets listen and follow us and they appreciate where they believe that interest rates are going. And so they will evaluate things,” said Powell in part of the conversation that deals with mortgage interest.
Although Powell found the high level of equity, he said that this was “no time with increased financial stability risks”.
The shares have lowered themselves according to the comments from Powell, whereby the large average trade was traded in red.
