At 20:30 Beijing time on July 22, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will attend a regulatory meeting related to the comprehensive review of the capital framework for large banks and deliver opening remarks.
This speech will focus on topics related to bank capital regulation, including the finalization of the Basel Accords, stress tests, capital surcharges for large banks, and leverage requirements.
Due to recent pressure from Trump and Republican lawmakers regarding the Federal Reserve's headquarters renovation cost overruns, he may also emphasize the importance of the Federal Reserve's independence once again. The market is also looking for clues about the direction of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy from his speech, especially in light of the current unstable economic situation and the existence of rate cut expectations; any hints regarding interest rate policy could have a significant impact on global financial markets.
