Fed's Powell not ready to say what Trump policies will do to economy
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said Wednesday it's too soon to say what President-elect Donald Trump's proposed economic policies will do to the economy and how that might bear on the central bank's policy choices. "We need to take our time, not rush” and see what the new president delivers, Powell said, amid economists' expectations that tariffs and deportations favored by Trump are likely to push inflation higher.
