I don't know what Powell can do to stop the tariffs. That's a congress thing not a fed thing.

Exaaaaactly. Powell runs the fed which has 2 mandates. Inflation and Jobs. I dont see market mentioned anywhere in there. Until companies are shuttering I guess because unemployment is so low? Or high?

Powell may not be able to stop the tariffs but he certainly can make the interest rates go down.

Why would you make interest rates go down when there's a massive inflationary event on the horizon?
