2:00:41Now PlayingJerome Powell, Chair of the Federal Reserve, speaks at an introductory macroeconomics class at Harvard University, as markets closely watch for signals on how the Fed will respond to a complex economic shock—rising inflation alongside slowing growth.
With the Iran war now driving U.S. gasoline prices toward $4 a gallon, Powell faces a classic central bank dilemma: whether to tighten monetary policy to control inflation or hold back to avoid choking economic activity. He has indicated the Fed would first assess whether tariff-driven inflation subsides before deciding how to respond to war-driven price pressures.
Investor concerns have already pushed Treasury yields higher, while surveys like the University of Michigan’s show rising consumer inflation expectations—though some market-based indicators remain more stable. The Fed’s next move could shape the trajectory of inflation, interest rates, and the broader U.S. economy.
