USA-FED/JACKSON HOLE-PREEMPTION (PIX)
Fed's pandemic-era vow to prioritize employment may soon be tested
Four years ago at the Jackson Hole economic symposium, Fed Chair Jerome Powell set a bold and untried new course for how the U.S. central bank would set monetary policy. With a global pandemic still raging and little confidence in a swift rebound from the shutdowns that brought the economy to a standstill just months earlier, Powell leaned more into the employment side of the Fed's dual mandate than any previous Fed chief. It meant he and his colleagues would not risk cutting short a then-uncertain jobs recovery by moving preemptively to cut off signs of building inflation as had been central bank orthodoxy to that point. It blew up in their faces: Within two years they were fighting a rear-guard action against the stiffest inflation in more than a generation. Now the Fed's operating playbook - its "Statement on Longer-Run Goals and Monetary Policy Strategy" - is up for its mid-decade review and one thing is all but certain: Preemption will be back.
