(Bloomberg) – Jerome Powell collides with a difficult task this week and the economy remains a solid foundation when needed to pass step by step.

Since the Federal Reserve Chair has given us a separate, the execution of the rapid growing trade war of President Donald Trump sent shares in the past month. The yield of bonds also descends, as well as the consumer mood, as worried about the Economic Perspectives.
“Powell needs to signal that they follow it,” said Dominic Consistam, the head of the Mount Macro Strategy of the US Mordua Strawz. Before the Feed Chief, it is likely to understand that officials do not target the stock market, they cannot ignore the last slide.
The federation is widely stabilizing interest rates, when they will meet on March 18-19, but traders now see high disagreements at three interest rates this year, most likely, starting in June. Economists generally expect two reductions, such as what predicting the updated predictions of policy makers forecasts to show on Wednesday.
Some investors are afraid that if officials continue to announce only two reductions in 2025.
“In Margin, Fed could worsen a little better or slightly,” said James Atti, a portfolio manager of Marlboro Investment Management. “But clearly they cannot completely calm markets, because the hit of the heath has greatly reached the white house.”
At the top of the escalation and constantly changing tariff threats against the largest trading partners in America, the Trump administration has not made a lot to reduce the risk of decline. On March 9, the President said that the US economy faces a “transition period”, and his treasury secretary Scott Best noted that the United States and the markets need the “detox”.
Market reaction
The most sensitive yield on quarterly monetary policy has dropped almost 60 basic points in mid-January, up to 3.83% this month, the lowest level in more than five months. And while the funds progress on Friday, the move came from the sale, which peaked at 10% of the S & P 500. Wall Street’s so-called fear water meter – VIX – Last week at the highest levels in August.
These market spashes have spread the stakes, as officials have released fresh economic forecasts, which stand out how many officials expect Trump’s policy. Political developers are expected to decrease their forecasts this year, and the views of their curses, which exclude food and energy.
But Powell is likely to be restored to guarantee investors that Fed will run with first signs of an unpleasant economy without key inflation.
“We will hear the message that things are still stored, and that policy is in a good place where feeding can respond to the economist, that is more about the two sides of their mandate.
Until February, consumer prices rose more slowly, and the manufacturer’s price index was unchanged compared to a month, the components that fed in the amount of Fed inflation were mainly stronger. The carefully viewed measurement of long-term inflation expectations increased by more than three decades during the third month.
Such data limit the federation to function and promote the economy, as long as the weakest party will start to appear in the labor market, said Matthew Lozetti, General Director of the US Chief Economist, Deutsche Bank AG. It can show more weak salary gains, raising unemployment or scuffles of discharge, he said.
“There are many uncertainty there, and it is possible that they will present such severe data, but they will continue or not who do not expect it to be fed at pace this year. “At the same time, I think they see more evidence that their work on inflation is not done.”
If Fed resisted the weakening economy, in the conditions of inflation, about two-thirds of the inquiry of Bloomberg, the officials expect that officials are stable.
Complicating the foreigner is the probability that other policies proposed by the Trump administration, such as tax cuts and hardware, can promote the economy and inflation in the coming months. Powell and his colleagues stressed that they are watching what Trump’s policy will be on the economy and would like to be able to normalize politics.
“Despite the high levels of uncertainty, the US economy remains in a good place,” at the beginning of this month, during its last public remarks this week. “We don’t need to hurry and have a good position to wait for greater clarity.”
Balance sheet
Wall Street Strategarists will also want any review to stop Fed plans, which reduces the speed of which is known as quantitative tightening or Qt. As a result of the January collection, politicians discussed the possibility of pause or slow down until lawmakers could make a transaction on the ceiling of the government’s debt.
“The argument for March is that Fed has already spoken about it,” said Bley Gwin, Head of the US Capital Markets in the OBP. “So why not only do it because they can pause Qt, then just restart it later?”
