The US markets ended lower on Tuesday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated that the equity prices are overvalued following the recent gains made by the markets. He further addressed the outlook for monetary policy, noting the Fed is facing a challenging situation as near-term risks to inflation are tilted to the upside and risks to employment to the downside. Moreover, he pointed that aggressive monetary easing could leave the inflation job unfinished and need to reverse course later to fully restore 2 percent inflation, on the other hand, maintaining restrictive policy for longer period could soften the labor market unnecessarily.
