#PowellRemarks Federal Reserve Chair *Jerome Powell* recently delivered remarks following the Fed’s decision to keep interest rates steady for the fourth consecutive time, maintaining the target range at *4.25% to 4.5%* ⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾. Powell emphasized a cautious approach, stating that the Fed is “well positioned to wait to learn more about the likely course of the economy before considering any adjustments”⁽³⁾.
His comments come amid *intensifying political pressure*, particularly from President Trump, who has been vocally critical of Powell for not cutting rates. Trump labeled Powell “Too Late Powell” and even joked about appointing himself as Fed Chair⁽³⁾⁽⁴⁾.
Markets are now closely watching for signs of when the Fed might resume rate cuts, especially as inflation shows signs of cooling. Powell’s tone suggests the Fed is prioritizing stability and data-driven decisions over political noise.
