And we'll hear from the chairman on Wednesday.
Members of the Fed's rate-setting committee have been hard at work in recent weeks, making the case that moves in financial markets have done some of the Fed's work for them by tightening financial conditions.
You see it with higher business loan rates and the highest mortgage rates in 23 years.
Tighter financial conditions mean that the market, rather than the Fed, raises rates and tightens up the economy.
As Powell said earlier this month in a speech, that could mean the Fed won't need to raise rates again this year.
But why have financial conditions tightened?
And what does that actually mean?
More importantly, what does what we've heard from Fed officials about markets and about economic data tell us about what to expect at their meeting this week?
To help answer those questions, I'm joined by WSJ markets reporter Gunjan Banerjee and WSJ economics reporter Harriet Torrey.
Harriet, I want to come to you first.
The data on the U.S.
economy has been surprisingly strong.
Why has the data been so strong and why has that been surprising?
Credit card interest rates are at an all-time high.
And I think that actually is a perfect segue for us to bring in Gunjan here, because I want to talk to you about that exact thing, the tightening of financial conditions.
The Fed says this over and over and over.
From what you're seeing in the market, what does it mean for financial conditions to tighten and how are we seeing that?
Wild times in the government bond market.
Whoever thought we'd say that?
People are talking about bonds and I love it.
