Lowering interest rates to juice the economy is done when unemployment rises … which hasn’t happened yet in the wider economy.

Juiced economy and free cash is what led to massive inflation. Powell is trying to save hay until winter - when we get a recession the interest rates cuts are the only knob he has to turn to soften the blow.
