Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell warns of the economic impact of new tariffs, stating they may lead to higher inflation and slower growth.
Powell emphasizes the need for the Fed to keep longer-term inflation expectations well anchored and prevent a temporary rise in inflation from becoming a persistent problem.
The Fed faces challenges to maintain stable prices and maximum employment due to the new tariffs announced by the Trump administration.
Some forecasters are raising recession probability estimates, and investors are betting on multiple interest rate cuts in response to the tariffs.
