Powell: The economy is stronger than expected, the Federal Reserve can be "a bit more cautious" about cutting interest rates, and the Trump administration cannot set up a shadow Federal Reserve chair.
Powell stated that economic growth is stronger than expected at the time of the Federal Reserve's first rate cut in September, and there is no reason not to remain strong.

It is currently too early to determine the impact of Trump's tariffs and other policies on the economy and interest rate outlook.
