Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell stated that the central bank is unlikely to raise its key interest rate in response to persistent inflation, expressing confidence that price increases will soon cool down. Powell highlighted that although he was less confident in inflation easing, the Fed's preferred approach is to maintain the current interest rate instead of increasing it. Financial markets and economists anticipate rate cuts, but with ongoing elevated price pressures, no rate cut is expected in the near future.
