LIVE REACTION: Josh Breaks Down Powell’s Economic Outlook

​Did Jerome Powell just shift the economic narrative? Josh reacts in real time to Powell’s April 15 remarks at the Economic Club of Chicago, breaking down his comments on inflation, tariffs, and the growing risks in private credit markets. He questions whether Powell’s outlook reflects neutral policy or political influence, especially in light of ongoing tension with former President Trump.​ Josh contrasts Powell’s inflation concerns with falling prices in areas like oil and groceries, challenges the Fed’s stance on tariffs, and examines the potential impact of unregulated private lending on future market stability. He also explores the growing friction between Powell and Trump, and what that could mean for future policy.​ Audio sourced from Powell’s April 15, 2025 speech at the Economic Club of Chicago: https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/powell20250416a.htm ​ Can't get enough of The Financial Quarterback?
