The annual global central bank annual meeting will be held today on Friday (May 1). The Fed's No. 2 figure and Vice Chairman Fisher said that Fed officials are discussing the issue of overheating in the U.S. economy. Fisher and several of his colleagues met with labor activists on Thursday, who are calling on the Fed not to raise interest rates. The issue of an overheating economy has been discussed internally at the Fed. All issues discussed here will also be discussed in the Board of Directors.
Kansas City Fed President George and Dallas Fed President Cajunlan added fuel to the debate on interest rate hikes on Thursday. George said now is the time to start raising interest rates, and Cajunlan said the momentum for unwinding easing is growing. Last week, three senior officials including Dudley, the Fed's No. 3 figure, all mentioned that the Fed may raise interest rates this year. The gradual convergence of Fed officials' voices may suggest that the Fed is reaching a consensus on raising interest rates within the year.

Yellen’s speech in the evening will be a bombshell, and the market expects that she will not reveal too much information about short-term policies. At present, only a relatively small number of investors expect the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates in March. If Yellen describes the prospect of raising interest rates in a more hawkish stance, it will cause a greater reaction from the market. However, analysts at the agency believe that Yellen’s agenda will focus more on long-term policy prospects, such as how to deal with the lower natural interest rate. If the natural interest rate is unable to promote inflation, it will be detrimental to the overall economic structure, and the Fed may increase the adjustment rate accordingly. The inflation target will ultimately lead the Fed to keep interest rates low for a longer period of time.
