#PowellRemarks Urgent: Collapses are multiplying in the markets after Powell's comments.. and gold is falling sharply.

Trump wrote: "This is the perfect time to lower the interest rate," adding that Powell must "stop playing politics."

The Fed chairman did not directly respond to the president's statements but again confirmed the independence of the central bank and its mandate regarding inflation.

Powell stated: "The Fed is required to maintain stable inflation expectations."

And while Powell acknowledged the economic risks of tariffs, his message was clear: the Fed will not rush to respond to market demands or political pressures. Instead, it will act based on the data received and its dual mandate.
