WASHINGTON -- The Federal Reserve can stay patient and wait to see how tariffs and other economic policies of the Trump administration play out before making any changes to interest rates, Chair Jerome Powell said Wednesday.
“For the time being, we are well positioned to wait for greater clarity” on the impact of policy changes in areas such as immigration, taxation, regulation, and tariffs, Powell said.
The sharp volatility in financial markets since President Donald Trump announced sweeping tariffs April 2, only to put most of them on hold a week later, has led to speculation about whether the Fed would soon cut its key interest rate or take other steps to calm investors. Yet the Fed is unlikely to intervene unless there is a breakdown in the market for Treasury securities or other malfunctions, economists say.
In written remarks to be delivered to the Economic Club of Chicago, Powell reiterated that the Trump administration's tariffs are “significantly larger than anticipated."
“The same is likely to be true of the economic effects, which will include higher inflation and slower growth,” he said.

华盛顿报道 —— 本周三，美联储主席鲍威尔表示，美联储将会保持定力，继续观望懂王政府的关税和其他经济政策将如何影响经济发展，再决定是否调整利率。
“眼下美联储的决定仍然是继续等待情势明朗”，鲍威尔这样说道。这里的情势包括懂王政府提出的多项政策调整，涉及移民、税收、监管和关税等方面。
自四月二日懂王宣布一揽子无差别关税打击之后，金融市场出现了显著的波动；懂王一周后随即决定将大部分关税暂缓征收，这引起了许多猜测，考量美联储是否将很快降息，或者采取其他政策，来安抚投资者。然而，经济学家认为，美联储不太可能展开干预，除非美国债或是其他市场出现了明显崩溃的迹象。
在提交给芝加哥经济俱乐部的书面评论中，鲍威尔重申，懂王政府提出关税政策变动比美联储预期的规模要大得多。
“这显然也将造成更大规模的经济效应，包括更高的通胀率和进一步减缓的经济增长”，鲍威尔写道。
