Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell recently expressed concerns about President Donald Trump’s tariffs and their potential impact on inflation and economic growth. In a speech to business journalists in Arlington, Virginia, Powell emphasized the uncertain outlook created by the new reciprocal levies announced by the president.

While acknowledging the current strength of the economy, Powell highlighted the risks posed by tariffs and underscored the Fed’s commitment to keeping inflation in check. He stated that the central bank will closely monitor the situation before making any adjustments to its policy stance. Powell also refrained from responding to Trump’s calls for interest rate cuts, emphasizing the Fed’s independence from political influence.

Following Trump’s announcement of tariffs, Wall Street experienced a significant sell-off, reflecting concerns about the economic repercussions of the trade measures. Powell noted that the size and duration of the effects of the tariffs remain uncertain, with potential impacts including higher inflation and slower growth.

Despite the market’s expectations of interest rate cuts in response to the tariffs, Powell emphasized the Fed’s mandate to maintain price stability and full employment. He stressed the importance of anchoring inflation expectations and expressed caution about the potential long-term effects of tariffs on prices.

While Powell acknowledged the challenges posed by tariffs, he also highlighted the resilience of the economy, citing a solid labor market and stable inflation expectations. He noted that while consumer surveys indicate rising concerns about inflation and future growth, longer-term inflation expectations are still consistent with the Fed’s objectives.

In conclusion, Powell’s remarks underscore the Fed’s commitment to monitoring the impact of tariffs on inflation and economic growth before considering any policy adjustments. The central bank remains focused on maintaining price stability and supporting the economy amid evolving trade dynamics.
