#鲍威尔发言

Powell's latest remarks are significant, akin to a boulder thrown into the lake of the economy, creating ripples upon ripples. He emphasized that the Federal Reserve must fully guard against tariffs causing price increases turning into lasting inflation, a viewpoint that deeply understands the severity of the current economic situation.

From the market response, following his remarks, the U.S. stock market quickly fell, and the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds also slightly decreased, reflecting investors' unease about the future economy. Powell made it clear that the Federal Reserve prioritizes inflation over employment and price stability, and is not in a hurry to adjust the benchmark policy interest rate in the short term. This cautious attitude stems from the uncertainties in the global trade environment, particularly the ongoing impact of Trump's tariff policies.

However, he also admitted that inflation and unemployment rates may deviate from targets in the future, leading to conflicts in the central bank's objectives.
