Banking turmoil 'likely' to weigh on inflation: Fed

Description

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell says that recent banking sector developments "are likely to result in tighter credit conditions for households and businesses," and to weigh on economic activity, hiring and inflation. During a press conference, he adds that "some additional policy firming may be appropriate" to get to a stance that is sufficiently restrictive to bring inflation down. SOUNDBITE
