Mixed results observed on today's market session; inflation fear addressed by Powell

SHEUNG WAN, Hong Kong - July 26, 2021 - PRLog -- Investors were given a few of the Q2 corporate earnings along with new data about inflation, making it so that traders would have to digest the new info slowly.

But thanks to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and his well-timed release of his stance concerning inflation. He's sticking to his original statement that the inflation is short-term and does not need immediate attention.

Analysts have their own outlook regarding the inflation and the possibility of longer lasting inflationary period. However, Powell strongly suggests that it would take much more than this before anything can force the Fed's and the central bank to make changes and lift the ultra-accommodating low interest rates as well as its strong asset purchase program.
