What looks likely, given the scope and scale of the tariffs, is that we will see certainly the risks to higher inflation, higher unemployment have increased. And if that's what we do see, and if the tariffs are ultimately put in place at those levels, which we don't know, then we won't see further progress toward our goals. But we might see a delay in that.
I think in our thinking, we would never do anything but keep achieving those goals. But we would, at least for the next, let's say, year, we would not be making progress toward those goals. Again, if that's the way the tariffs shake out. The thing is, we don't know that. There's so much uncertainty about the scale, scope, timing, and persistence of the tariffs.
Depending on the way things play out, that could include rate hikes, sorry, rate cuts. You know, it could include us holding where we are. We just are going to need to see, you know, how things play out before we make those decisions.
If the large increases in tariffs that have been announced are sustained, they're likely to generate a rise in inflation, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in unemployment.

The administration is entering into negotiations with many countries over tariffs. We'll know more with each week and month that goes by about where tariffs are going to land. And we'll know what the effects will be when we start to see those things. So we think we'll be learning. I can't tell you how long it will take.
But for now, it does seem like it's a fairly clear decision for us to wait and see and watch.

The gr grocery bill is about past inflation, really.
And they're not wrong to be unhappy that prices went up quite a bit, and they're paying a lot for those things.
I'm today not going to be sending any signals about the timing of any future actions.
But there really there's no limit on how much of that we can do other than that it must meet the tests under the law. There is no limit.
You know, we don't have authority, I don't believe, to lend to state and local governments.
I don't think we want that authority. I think that's something for Congress to do.
And joining us now in a rare and exclusive live interview is Jerome Powell.
In many cases, what people really need is direct fiscal support rather than a loan. And what we can do is loan. So there's a big need for fiscal policy. So tell me about that.
