Summers says
(Bloomberg) Fed Recovered From Egregious Inflation Mistake
• Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers says the Fed has redeemed itself.
• He told Bloomberg TV the central bank’s post-COVID policy was an “egregious” mistake.
• But the Fed appears to have avoided his worst-case recession predictions, he said.
Future jobs prints could sway this. For instance, if unemployment or nonfarm payroll data worsens, analysts have argued that a deeper cut could be worthwhile.
