Euro neutral at $1.2272 // US Fed’s Mr. Powell reiterated that central bank would continue to gradually tighten monetary policy.
US Fed. chair Jerome Powell testified (again) to the Senate Banking Committee on late Thursday and said there's no evidence that the US economy's currently overheating. He pointed out that there may be additional slack in the labor market, such as the labor force participation rate for prime age workers still below the level seen before the financial crisis.
"We don't see any strong evidence yet of -- of a decisive move up in wages," said Mr. Powell, adding that wage inflation is not at a point of acceleration. Most of the measures indicated that workers' wage continued to grow about 2.5%. The moderate wage growth is one of the signs for the labor market slackness.
Unemployment rate in US has dropped to 4.1%, which Powell considered a level "at or near or even below most estimates of the natural rate of unemployment. However, the inflation continued to run below the US Fed's 2%-target In January, the personal consumption expenditure price index, a preferred inflation gauge by the US Fed, rose 1.7%.
By continuing to gradually raise interest rates over time, we're trying to balance those two things achieve inflation moving up to target, but also make sure that the economy doesn't overheat," Mr. Powell said.
In his testimony before the House Financial Services Committee on Tuesday, Powell said that his outlook for the US economy has strengthened since December last year, triggering market speculation that the US Fed chair was open to faster interest rate hikes this year.
Analysts now expected that the US Fed. may raise interest rates (each 0.25%) at least three times (maybe four) within the time frame of at least a year or so.

Bovag: Na jaren van daling steeg in 2017 het aantal verkochte nieuwe fietsen met 3,2 procent ten opzichte van het jaar ervoor, naar 957.000 stuks.
Na jaren van daling steeg in 2017 het aantal verkochte nieuwe fietsen met 3,2 procent ten opzichte van het jaar ervoor, naar 957.000 stuks. Met 294.000 exemplaren is inmiddels bijna 1 op de 3 nieuwe fietsen een elektrische, zo blijkt uit cijfers van RAI Vereniging en BOVAG uit een steekproefonderzoek van GfK. De totale omzet steeg voor het vijfde jaar op rij, tot een recordniveau van ruim 976 miljoen euro.
Na het verkoopniveau van 1,4 miljoen exemplaren in 2007 daalde de verkoop van nieuwe fietsen jaar op jaar, maar dankzij de alsmaar groeiende populariteit van e-bikes is de dalende lijn vorig jaar een halt toegeroepen. De 294.000 nieuwe elektrische fietsen betekenen een toename van 8,7 procent in vergelijking met 2016 en zijn zelfs bijna 3,5 keer meer dan de 89.000 e-bikes die in 2007 werden verkocht. Nu in bijna elke fietscategorie varianten met elektrische ondersteuning beschikbaar zijn, genereert de branche meer dan de helft van de omzet uit de verkoop van e-bikes.
De groeiende verkoop van elektrische fietsen gaat voornamelijk ten koste van de hybride en de ‘gewone’ stadsfiets, hoewel de stadsfiets met een marktaandeel van 42 procent (399.000 exemplaren) nog steeds het populairst is. Het gemiddelde bedrag dat aan een nieuwe fiets werd besteed lag vorig jaar met 1.020 euro een tientje hoger dan het jaar ervoor, toen voor het eerst de grens van 1.000 euro werd doorbroken. Ook de verkoop van speed pedelecs groeide in 2017 naar 4.572 stuks ten opzichte van 3.576 stuks in 2016. Deze toename is vooral toe te schrijven aan een stijging van de zakelijke markt voor mobiliteitsproducten en registraties van voorraden.
