1. Powell Mentions Tariff Impact on Economy

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Federal Reserve Chairman Powell mentioned the issue of "tariffs" for the first time at a press conference. When asked about the revision of inflation forecasts and how much tariffs impact those forecasts, he stated that it is difficult to analyze how much inflation is driven by tariff policies, but they will strive to clarify: "It is clear that a significant portion comes from tariffs." Additionally, Powell pointed out that the policies introduced by the new Trump administration will affect the economy, but he will cautiously avoid making overly definitive judgments about this impact. Analysts suggest that this may be an attempt on his part, as he indicated he would closely monitor monthly data to sidestep external expectations about how everything will develop. -Original
