WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 25: Fed Chair Jerome Powell testifies before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs during a hearing to "examine the Semiannual Monetary Policy Report to the Congress" on Capitol Hill on June 25, 2025 in Washington, DC. Powell says that the central bank will wait for clearer economic signals on the effects of President Donald Trump's tariffs on the economy before cutting interest rates, despite pressure from the President and divisions among Fed officials.

Jerome Powell defies Trump one last time, holding rates steady: ‘The facts have moved decisively in the hawkish direction,’ top economist says

Four dissents signal that incoming Fed chair Kevin Warsh inherits a committee far more hawkish than the White House wants.
