#PowellRemarks

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is scheduled to speak today at 15:25 GMT. Investors are keenly awaiting his remarks, particularly regarding the potential impact of President Donald Trump’s recent tariff proposals on monetary policy. 

In recent statements, Powell has emphasized the Federal Reserve’s commitment to achieving a 2% inflation target while supporting a strong labor market. He has noted that current monetary policy is restrictive and that the central bank is prepared to adjust its stance as necessary based on economic developments. 

Market participants will be closely monitoring Powell’s speech for insights into the Fed’s future policy direction, especially in light of ongoing trade policy changes and their potential economic implications.
