CPI inflation, Powell's testimony in focus!🧐
🏆Focus was now squarely on the consumer price index, due for release on Wednesday, amid concerns that Trump's tariffs policies will add inflationary pressures to the world’s largest economy.
🌆The inflation gauge is projected to show that headline consumer price growth cooled on a month-on-month basis in January and equaled December's annualized pace.
So-called core inflation, which strips out more volatile items like food and fuel, is tipped to accelerate slightly from the prior month.
In December, consumer prices rose by 2.9% year-on-year, above the central bank's target level of 2%.
Meanwhile, Fed Chair Jerome Powell is facing questions today as he testifies to Congressional committees. He will do so again on Wednesday.
In his prepared testimony, Powell said the Federal Reserve does "not need to be in a hurry to adjust our policy stance."📊
