Powell: The economy is stronger than expected, the Federal Reserve can be "a bit more cautious" about cutting interest rates, and the Trump administration cannot set up a shadow Federal Reserve chair.
Powell stated that economic growth is stronger than expected at the time of the Federal Reserve's first rate cut in September, and there is no reason not to remain strong. Inflation has slightly increased, so the Fed can be more cautious regarding rate cuts while searching for a neutral interest rate level. There are no concerns about losing the Fed's independence, and there is confidence in maintaining good relations with the Trump administration. It is currently too early to determine the impact of Trump's tariffs and other policies on the economy and interest rate outlook.
