#PowellRemarks

Federal Reserve Chair **Jerome Powell** recently addressed the public following the Fed’s decision to keep interest rates steady at **4.25%–4.50%**. He emphasized caution amid ongoing economic uncertainty, including inflation concerns, trade tensions, and fiscal policy shifts.

Powell noted that while the labor market remains solid, inflation is still above the Fed’s 2% target. The Fed’s updated projections now suggest **two rate cuts** by the end of 2025, reflecting a more dovish stance.

Despite political pressure, Powell reaffirmed the Fed’s independence and commitment to data-driven decisions. His remarks signal a careful balancing act between supporting growth and maintaining price stability. #PowellRemarks
