some point this year, without specifying when.

outlook, and the balance of risks. , Jerome Powell, Federal Reserve Chair, via CNBC.

that inflation is moving
sustainably toward 2 percent, Jerome Powell, Federal Reserve Chair, via CNBC.

"a little bit more data" before
making a decision on rates.

in the labor market and
the progress we’ve made,
we can approach that step
carefully and thoughtfully
and with greater confidence, Jerome Powell, Federal Reserve Chair, via CNBC.

the expectation is we will
do so sometime this year.
