Fed Chair Powell Likely to Maintain Current Stance, Analyst Predicts

According to BlockBeats, Aptus Capital Advisors analyst John Luke Tyner anticipates that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will maintain his previous stance, emphasizing the need for policymakers to see more data before considering interest rate cuts. Tyner noted that with inflation still above target and the economy appearing stable, Powell is unlikely to be proactive in reducing rates in the near future. Tyner is eager to hear comments on tariffs, particularly their potential impact on prices. He mentioned that following recent statements from U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, Powell might underscore the Federal Reserve's independence.
