Good MorningThe equities market got another shot of anti-viral medication on Thursday when Jerome Powell announced major changes in how the Federal Reserve views inflation. Instead of taking inflation at face value, the committee will use an average-inflation approach in an effort to help sustain economic growth. Under the new policy, inflation could run well above the 2.0% target before any policy action or business-stifling rate increases would be taken.
The Fed changes are intended to sustain and accelerate economic growth in the U.S. and the markets responded favorably. The Dow Jones Industrial Average led the days advance with a gain near 1.0% to set a new high for 2020. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ Composite posted smaller advances but both set new highs as well. Investors should expect to see more new highs so long as the data remains favorable.
