Powell began a speech Tuesday in Chicago by addressing 'recent developments involving trade negotiations and other matters.'
said the central bank is watching current economic developments and will do what it must to keep the near-record expansion going.
"We do not know how or when these issues will be resolved," he said in prepared remarks. "We are closely monitoring the implications of these developments for the U.S. economic outlook and, as always, we will act as appropriate to sustain the expansion, with a strong labor market and inflation near our symmetric 2 percent objective."
"In short, the proximity of interest rates to the ELB has become the preeminent monetary policy challenge of our time, tainting all manner of issues with ELB risk and imbuing many old challenges with greater significance," he said.
