Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell made it very clear at his speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium that the Fed will get inflation down to two percent. Former St. Louis Fed President James Bullard, who is currently the Dean at the Purdue Daniels School of Business, tells Yahoo Finance Live's Jennifer Schonberger that the speech was 'moderately hawkish,' but that Powell's comments are 'reflecting the reality of the data that's coming in.' Bullard says that 'right now, it looks like the data's not cooperating the way they [the Fed] would have thought' and that we will have to see sustained disinflation in the core inflation numbers to 'keep the committee at bay.'

Fed Chair Powell at Jackson Hole: What investors need to knowFed Chair Jerome Powell is scheduled to speak at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium tomorrow. Jeanna Smialek, New York Times Federal Reserve and Economy Reporter, joins Yahoo Finance Live from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to discuss what to expect from Powell's speech and everything investors need to know. Regarding inflation, Smialek said, 'We've got pretty sticky core inflation, that number is quite a bit higher, almost 5 percent still ... I think the Fed has to both signal that they're willing to do what it takes ... while also avoiding signaling that they're going to do so much that they're going to push the economy into recession.'
