#PowellRemarks Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s 2025 remarks have focused on monetary policy, economic outlook, and tariff impacts. Speaking at events like the Fed’s International Finance 75th Anniversary Conference and Princeton’s Baccalaureate, Powell emphasized the Fed’s dual mandate: maximum employment and 2% inflation. He noted solid economic growth but highlighted risks from President Trump’s tariffs, which could raise inflation and slow growth. Powell defended the Fed’s pandemic response and stressed anchoring inflation expectations. Despite Trump’s criticism and calls for rate cuts, Powell maintained a cautious approach, signaling potential future cuts but prioritizing data-driven decisions.
