Powell: If tariff-driven inflation this year eases, it would show we can ease policy

**January 29 – Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Friday he has no intention of outlining specific criteria for future interest rate cuts.** Risks to the Fed’s dual mandate (maximum employment and stable prices) have somewhat diminished, he noted, adding that Committee members hold differing views on balancing these risks. Powell also stated the impact of tariffs on goods inflation is expected to peak this year before declining. “If we see that tariff-driven inflation peak and subsequent fall,” he said, “it would suggest we can ease policy.” Short-term inflation expectations have fully receded—“very reassuring,” he emphasized. Longer-term expectations reflect confidence inflation will return to the Fed’s 2% target, per FX678.
