#PowellRemarks
Jerome Powell, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, made statements that captured the interest of global markets, confirming that the interest rate policy will remain tight until clear indicators of declining inflation are achieved. He added that the Fed is ready to act cautiously, but will not hesitate to raise interest rates again if necessary. These statements have restored tension to the markets and directly affected stocks and cryptocurrencies, as fears increased regarding the possibility of maintaining high interest rates for a longer period. Some believe that Powell is balancing between controlling inflation and avoiding recession, while others consider that continued tightening could weaken economic growth. Markets are closely watching the Fed's next steps with great caution.
