The market is set for the Federal Reserve.. A hot week for heated markets. Powell will speak

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is scheduled to give a speech at the Economic Club in Chicago on Wednesday.

Powell previously warned on April 4 that Trump's tariffs are "larger than expected" and could lead to rising inflation and slowing growth.

However, he noted at the time that it was still too early to determine what the correct response to the tariffs would be. Investors are looking to the Federal Reserve to provide some reassurance that it is prepared to intervene to calm sentiments in case the tariffs lead to further rounds of intense pressure in the market, while Trump himself urged the central bank to lower interest rates.

Crucially, analysts noted that Powell's upcoming statement will be the first since Trump revealed a 90-day partial delay of his comprehensive tariffs last week after a massive bout of turmoil in the stock and bond markets.
