Fed Chair Powell: No Rate Cuts Expected Soon, Analyst Predicts

Aptus Capital Advisors analyst John Luke Tyner predicts that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will continue his current stance on interest rates, refraining from any cuts until more economic data becomes available. Tyner’s analysis reflects the persistent high inflation, coupled with a stable economy, as factors preventing rate reductions in the near future. Tyner expresses his anticipation for further discussion regarding tariffs and their potential influence on price levels. Notably, he anticipates Powell will highlight the Federal Reserve’s independence following recent pronouncements by the U.S. President, Donald Trump.
