The Fed chair just dropped a telling statement. Powell pinned inflation overshooting the 2% target squarely on Trump's tariff moves. But here's the kicker—he's framing it as a one-off price bump, not a sustained spiral. That distinction matters. If tariffs truly trigger a single-step price adjustment rather than ongoing pressure, markets might digest this differently. Still, the acknowledgment itself signals the central bank's wrestling with policy headwinds that aren't purely monetary. Worth watching how this narrative shapes rate expectations going forward.

Powell is blaming the tariffs this time, but calling it a one-time price increase... I've heard this rhetoric too many times.

Powell's blame-shifting this time is intense, but the key still depends on whether the market believes the narrative of "one-time price hikes"...

Powell's statement this time is really clever, blaming Trump's tariffs and retreating unscathed. A one-time price hike versus a spiral increase—such wording is a clear signal to bottom fish; just listen and move on.

Powell's remarks sound like he's trying to save face, talking about a one-time adjustment... What will they do when the market continues to rise later?

Powell's recent remarks are just sweet talk for a "one-time price increase." Let's just take it as background noise.

Powell's way of talking makes me want to laugh, a one-time price increase? Haha...
