Analyst: Powell's forward guidance may be limited; more attention should be paid to his future actions.
BlockBeats News, April 30 — Due to the market generally expecting the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged at this meeting, some analysts say that a more noteworthy focus will be on the future direction of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell: when his term as chair ends on May 15, will he stay on or leave the Fed?
Analysts say: “Regardless of his plans, we believe that given Kevin Waugh is expected to be confirmed as his successor, Powell’s forward guidance on policy at his final press conference as chair will be very limited.”
He added: “We believe Powell will adopt a more reflective tone when reviewing his tenure — he leaves behind a picture of a healthy economy, but there is still some distance to go before inflation returns to the 2% target. As Iran-US peace negotiations have stalled, the long-term blockade of the Strait of Hormuz seems to have become the new normal, and we believe the FOMC’s resolve to keep interest rates unchanged has been further strengthened.” (Jin10)
