#USElectronicsTariffs
The stage is set for a critical week in the markets, with all eyes on the Federal Reserve. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is slated to speak at the Economic Club of Chicago this Wednesday.
Earlier, on April 4, Powell cautioned that Trump’s tariffs were “larger than expected,” potentially fueling inflation and slowing economic growth. At the time, he emphasized it was still premature to determine the appropriate policy response.
Now, investors are eagerly awaiting signals from the Fed, hoping it will step in to stabilize markets if tariff tensions escalate. Meanwhile, Trump continues to urge the central bank to lower interest rates.
Notably, Powell’s upcoming remarks will be his first since Trump announced a partial 90-day delay on the broad tariffs last week, following significant market volatility in both stocks and bonds.
