Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell gave no indication that future interest rate cuts are coming, despite mounting pressure from President Donald Trump and Trump-appointed officials for the central bank.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking to more than 500 business, nonprofit and political leaders at The Crowne Plaza in Warwick Tuesday, Powell emphasized the need for a cautious approach to monetary policy in the midst of the unique challenge presented by persistent inflation and a softening labor market.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no risk-free path,\u201d said Powell. \u201cIf we ease too aggressively<\/span>, we could leave the inflation job unfinished and need to reverse course later to fully restore 2%. \u201cIf we maintain restrictive policies for too long, the labor market could soften unnecessarily. When our goals are in tension like this, our framework calls for us to balance both sides of our dual mandate.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Powell\u2019s comments during the Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce\u2019s annual <\/span>economic outlook luncheon<\/span><\/a> marked his first public speech since the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points <\/span>last week<\/span><\/a>. Even after the modest rate cut \u2014 the first of the year \u2014 other central bank officials indicated they support Trump\u2019s push for faster and more aggressive rate cuts to tackle inflation. Stephen Miran, Trump\u2019s economic adviser and a new appointee to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, <\/span>said Monday <\/span><\/a>that the 4.1% interest rate was still too high. Michelle Bowman, another Trump appointee and vice chair for supervision, also backed speedy and swift rate cuts in separate remarks <\/span>in North Carolina<\/span><\/a> earlier Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet Powell, also a Trump appointee in 2018 and then reappointed for a second term under President Joe Biden, made no promises on future rate cuts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur policy is not on a preset course,\u201d Powell said, emphasizing the Federal Reserve\u2019s dual mandate to maximize employment while keeping inflation at or near 2%. \u201cWe will continue to determine the appropriate stance based on the incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Powell\u2019s data-driven mindset over monetary policy has caused tensions with Trump, who since winning a second term has called Powell names and <\/span>threatened to fire him<\/span><\/a> amid frustrations at the Fed\u2019s decision to keep interest rates steady.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Powell has remained unflappable in the face of personal attacks. He responded indirectly Tuesday without calling out Trump by name.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMost of the people who are calling us political, it\u2019s just a cheap shot,\u201d Powell said. \u201cOur argument is doing our jobs. We don\u2019t get into the back and forth with external people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, who introduced Powell to the sold-out crowd Tuesday, was less reserved in his criticism of the federal administration, blasting Trump for his \u201cdirect assault\u201d on the central bank\u2019s independence and its members.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cChair Powell has met these challenges with equanimity and professionalism,\u201d Reed said. \u201cHe has somehow managed to stay laser-focused on achieving the Fed\u2019s dual mandate of maximum employment and stable pricing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, Powell focused much of his opening address and question-and-answer session with Laurie White, president of the Providence chamber, on the mechanics behind the central bank\u2019s decisions. He rattled off a list of economic indicators that inform the Federal Reserve\u2019s approach: inflation and the labor market chief among them, but also financial markets, housing affordability and tariffs.

Explaining the rate cut<\/h4>\n

The softening of the labor market, evidenced by a rising unemployment rate and depressed job growth, prompted the central bank\u2019s decision to lower interest rates slightly, easing off the \u201ctight\u201d monetary policy it has maintained in the face of inflation through much of the year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Powell noted that other labor market signals remain stable, including the ratio of job openings to unemployment, while inflation remains elevated. \u201cWe took very much a risk management approach,\u201d he said of the most recent rate cuts. \u201cWe try to have a policy that can cover the range of plausible outcomes, not just one outcome.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the attitude that guided Powell, a D.C. native, through a career in finance, first as an investment banker and lawyer in New York before working for the U.S. Department of the Treasury under President George H. W. Bush, and, since 2012, as a member of the Federal Reserve\u2019s Board of Governors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But the economic highs and lows have sharpened in the five years since Powell last visited Rhode Island. Soon after his November 2019 visit, also as part of a Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce event, the COVID-19 pandemic took hold, its grip on the world\u2019s health and economy still lingering today.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn democracies around the world, public trust in economic and political institutions has been challenged,\u201d Powell said. \u201cThose of us who are in public service at this time need to focus tightly on carrying out our critical missions to the best of our ability in the midst of stormy seas and powerful crosswinds.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Especially under a federal administration whose trade wars and immigration policies created what Powell characterized as an \u201cunusual and challenging\u201d\u00a0 slowdown in\u00a0 supply of and demand for workers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really an unusual kind of balance, the lower demand and lower need for workers,\u201d Powell said.<\/span><\/p>\n

He stressed that the central bank\u2019s control of interest rates is its only tool, and that upheaval of the economy caused by artificial intelligence and structural labor force shifts were better solved through legislators and the private sector.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe get a disproportionate amount of attention compared to the things that really matter, which are the things that Congress can do and the private sector can do,\u201d Powell said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stocks started to slide after Powell spoke, with all major index averages falling. The S&P 500 was down<\/span> more than 36 points<\/span><\/a> when markets closed.<\/span><\/p>\n

U.S. Rep. Seth Magaziner and a host of state legislative and general officeholders, including House Speaker K. Joseph Shekarchi, Lt. Gov. Sabina Matos and General Treasurer James Diossa, also attended the Chamber event Tuesday. Gov. Dan McKee was not present, having appeared at a joint event in New London, Connecticut, with Gov. Ned Lamont to speak about offshore wind an hour earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n
