<p>Federal Reserve Chair<strong> Jerome Powell </strong>said Thursday that the central bank is rethinking its approach to inflation and employment, signaling possible changes to the Fed's policy strategy as part of a major <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">review underway in 2025.</a></p>
<p>&#8220;Participants have indicated that they thought it would be appropriate to reconsider the language around [labor market] shortfalls,&#8221; Powell said, referring to how the Fed talks about employment in its official strategy. </p>
<p>Powell also highlighted that &#8220;at our meeting last week, we had a similar take on average inflation targeting,&#8221; hinting that the policy introduced in 2020 may be revised or dropped.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's Changing And Why?</h3>
<p>In 2020, the Fed adopted a strategy to let inflation run slightly above 2% after years of staying too low. That policy, known as average inflation targeting, was meant to boost job growth and better support the economy in downturns.</p>
<p>But just months later, inflation surged far beyond the Fed's expectations, hitting a peak of 7.2% in 2022. The Fed had to respond aggressively, raising interest rates by 5.25 percentage points in just 16 months. Now, Powell says the economic landscape has changed and the old approach may no longer fit.</p>
<p>In April 2025, inflation measured by the Fed's preferred gauge—the personal consumption expenditures index—was down to 2.2%.</p>
<p> That's close to the Fed's goal and, Powell noted, "without the sharp increase in unemployment" that often comes with rate hikes. This success may be pushing the Fed to rethink whether it still needs the average inflation policy.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Better Communication In Focus</h3>
<p>Powell also acknowledged that the Fed needs to do a better job explaining its outlook and the risks it sees. He said the central bank is looking at ways to improve how it communicates uncertainty around economic forecasts.</p>
<p>"Clear communication is an issue even in relatively placid times," he said. He added that in today's more volatile world—where shocks happen more often—it&#8217;s even more important to help the public understand that forecasts can change.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Happens Next?</h3>
<p>Powell said the Fed will finish its policy review in the coming months. The updated strategy will replace the one adopted in 2020 and is expected to shape how the Fed responds to future economic challenges.</p>
<p>While some core elements will stay—like the 2% inflation target—others, like the language around employment and inflation overshooting, may be rewritten.</p>
<p>For now, Powell made it clear that anchoring inflation expectations—keeping public confidence that prices will remain stable—is still the Fed's top priority. "We remain fully committed to the 2 percent target today," he said.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Market Reactions: Dollar Rebounds, Yields Hover Near 5% After Powell Speech</strong></h3>
<p>Markets showed a mixed response to Powell's comments, with the U.S. dollar bouncing back while Treasury yields remained elevated and tech stocks took a breather.</p>
<p>The U.S. Dollar Index, as tracked by the <strong>Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>), rose to 100.8, trimming earlier losses triggered by weaker-than-expected retail and producer price data <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45435725/tariffs-slow-retail-spending-as-producer-prices-post-sharpest-drop-since-2020">released earlier in the day.</a></p>
<p>Meanwhile, 30-year Treasury yields briefly touched the 5% threshold, reflecting market expectations that interest rates will remain elevated. Yields later eased slightly to 4.98% as investors digested Powell's remarks on the Fed's evolving policy stance.</p>
<p>Nasdaq 100 futures were flat, stabilizing after a three-day winning streak, as traders weighed the potential implications of a policy framework revision and a slower-than-expected inflation path.</p>
<p>Traders currently assign just an 8% probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut at the June FOMC meeting, according to CME FedWatch Tool data. The likelihood of easing increases further out, with markets fully pricing in a rate cut by September 2025.</p>

Rockwell Automation Stock: A Deep Dive Into Analyst Perspectives (14 Ratings)

<p>Shares of <strong>JD.com Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JD#NASDAQ">JD</a>) fell 4.3% to $34.16 Thursday morning, tracking a broader decline in Chinese e-commerce stocks after <strong>Alibaba Group</strong> <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45437447/alibaba-stock-slides-5-after-revenue-miss-cloud-spend-hits-free-cash-flow">reported</a> mixed fiscal fourth-quarter results. Alibaba stock slid 7% to $124.60 despite a better-than-expected earnings beat, as overall revenue disappointed investors.</p>
<p><strong>What To Know:</strong> Alibaba reported quarterly revenue of $32.58 billion, up 7% year-over-year but shy of analysts' $33.08 billion estimate. While adjusted earnings per share of $1.73 exceeded expectations, the top-line miss <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45437447/alibaba-stock-slides-5-after-revenue-miss-cloud-spend-hits-free-cash-flow">raised concerns</a> about slower domestic consumption and heightened competition.</p>

<p>Investors appeared to be spooked by weakness in segments like Cainiao Logistics, which saw a 12% revenue decline due to restructuring, and a modest 8% growth in China's core retail business. Although international and cloud businesses showed strong momentum, they weren't enough to offset concerns.</p>
<p>JD.com, often seen as a peer and rival to Alibaba, was pulled lower in a sympathy selloff Thursday, as investors reassessed the outlook for the broader Chinese e-commerce sector. Alibaba's report is potentially casting a shadow over near-term growth prospects, despite ongoing recovery signals in China's consumer market.</p>

Decoding Elevance Health's Options Activity: What's the Big Picture?

<p>A recent episode of "<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@daveramsey/video/7501681088637455662">The Ramsey Show</a>" sparked discussion after a newlywed couple called in to ask financial expert <strong>Dave Ramsey</strong> for advice on a big decision: Should they go on a $20,000 African safari they won in a raffle—or skip it and stay on track to buy their first home?</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Dream Trip Comes With a Price Tag</h2>
<p>The caller explained that she and her husband, who earn $275,000 annually, are debt-free and have a fully funded emergency fund. They're also planning to buy a house in about a year and are on track to save $87,000 toward a down payment.</p>
<p><strong>Don't Miss:</strong></p>

<li><strong>Inspired by Uber and Airbnb &#8211; Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2"><strong>with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.30/share!</strong></a></strong></li>

</ul>
<p>The couple had previously dreamed of taking a safari for their 10th wedding anniversary. But when they unexpectedly won an all-inclusive nine-day African safari hunt — valued at $20,000 — they were faced with a tempting opportunity much sooner than expected.</p>
<p>The raffle prize covers lodging, food, and a guided hunt in South Africa. However, as the caller pointed out, there are still significant out-of-pocket costs: airfare, gun rental, transportation, taxidermy, and shipping of the trophies. Altogether, the additional expenses could total between $12,000 and $15,000 — an amount not covered by their current $2,600 vacation fund.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ramsey: "You're in a Much Better Place Than I Thought"</h2>
<p>At first, Ramsey and his co-host <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43061910/college-fund-or-brokerage-account-for-kids-schooling-ramsey-show-hosts-weigh-in-on-lawyers-sketchy-advice-for-single-mom">Dr. <strong>John Delony</strong></a> joked about the nature of the call — Delony calling it "the most Oklahoma call" he's ever taken. But once they heard the couple's financial background, Ramsey admitted he had expected a different scenario.</p>
<p><strong>Trending: Invest where it hurts — and help millions heal:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/a-cure-for-osteoarthritis-powered-by-everyday-investors-cytonics-is-looking-to-beat-big-pharma-and-disrupt-a-390-billion-market"><strong> Invest in Cytonics and help disrupt a $390B Big Pharma stronghold</strong></a>.</strong></p>
<p>"You make $275,000, you&#8217;re out of debt, you have your emergency fund — vacations are on the table," Ramsey said. "You&#8217;re choosing between the size of your down payment or the distance of your down payment."</p>
<p>In other words, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45335414/dave-ramsey-tells-woman-whose-boyfriend-thinks-401ks-are-a-scam-dont-marry-this-guy-he-aint-worth-it-calling">Ramsey</a> explained, the couple could take the trip now and delay their home purchase by a few months. They could still hit their savings goals, just on a slightly different timeline.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Postpone the House or Pass on the Zebra Rug?</h2>
<p>The caller was enthusiastic about the trip, including the possibility of bringing home a zebra rug as a memento. Her husband, on the other hand, had suggested skipping the expensive taxidermy and just taking pictures. Still, both were unsure whether it was financially wise to go on such a large trip before owning a home.</p>

<p>Ramsey gave his personal answer: "I would go to Africa and delay my house by three months."</p>
<p>Delony agreed, adding, "Go do it right."</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Memorable Decision</h2>
<p>Ultimately, Ramsey&#8217;s take was that this wasn't about blowing the budget or jeopardizing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/05/45338011/90-of-women-investors-say-theyre-on-track-to-meet-their-financial-goals-survey-finds">financial goals</a>. Instead, it was about making a value-based choice: Would the experience of a once-in-a-lifetime trip be worth a short delay in homeownership?</p>
<p>For this couple, the answer might come down to how much they value the memories — and maybe that zebra rug.</p>
