Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will give a speech on the economic outlook and the Fed's review of its policy framework next Friday at the Kansas City Fed's annual central banking conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the Fed said on Thursday. Powell's speech comes as data showing some impact of tariffs on inflation but the job market is also slowing, a combination fueling expectations for the Fed to cut interest rates by a quarter of a percent when it meets next month. U.S. President Donald Trump wants lower rates and is looking for a replacement for Powell, whose term ends in...
A 50-basis point interest rate cut next month could potentially send the wrong signal to markets about the state of the U.S. labor market, San Francisco Federal Reserve President Mary Daly told the Wall Street Journal. A soft July jobs report, as well as muted inflation data for the month, have fueled increased expectations that the Fed will slash borrowing costs at its September meeting.

Investors are now all but pricing in a 25-basis point reduction after the Fed's September 16-17...

The Fed's benchmark rate has been at an effective 4.33% since January, after three cuts late last year, as it monitors the economic impact of tariffs. President Trump has also pushed for cuts since early this year,...

Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin believes that consumer spending behavior—now increasingly selective and inclined to "trade down"—can mitigate price spikes caused by import tariffs, potentially making future inflationary pressures more moderate than feared.
