From 2018 to 2019, U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell faced significant challenges due to trade tensions. The U.S. government's frequent tariff increases created uncertainty for economic growth and business investment. Powell maintained a gradual interest rate hike policy to stabilize the economy while warning that higher tariffs could harm the U.S. economy. In 2019, as economic risks increased, he shifted to a preventive rate cut strategy. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a stock market crash and a spike in unemployment, nearing 15%. Powell responded with unprecedented measures, including rapid interest rate cuts to 0%-0.25%, open-ended quantitative easing, and emergency loan programs to support corporate and municipal financing. Between 2021 and 2023, the U.S. faced soaring inflation, reaching a 40-year high with the PCE annual rate nearing 7% in June 2022. Powell initially adhered to the "transitory inflation" narrative, causing policy delays. Upon recognizing the misjudgment, he initiated the most aggressive rate hike cycle since the 1980s, raising rates to 5.25%-5.5% by March 2022. In 2023, aggressive rate hikes exposed "interest rate risks," leading to the collapse of regional banks like Silicon Valley Bank. The Fed continued with a 25 basis point rate hike to control inflation but stopped committing to further hikes. It also launched a new bank term funding program to prevent crisis spread. As Powell's term nears its end from 2024 to 2026, he faces dual challenges. Economic and inflation issues persist, with inflation stagnation and economic slowdown, compounded by the 2026 U.S.-Iran conflict. Powell must balance the Fed's dual mandate. Additionally, U.S. President Donald Trump's dissatisfaction with Fed policies has led to unprecedented political pressure, challenging the Fed's independence. In response, Powell adopted a "stop-and-go" monetary policy, starting a rate cut cycle in September 2024 but pausing due to inflation concerns. The U.S.-Iran conflict and rising energy prices have heightened inflation worries, prompting Powell to emphasize caution regarding geopolitical impacts on inflation expectations. To defend the Fed's independence, Powell has firmly countered Trump's rate cut demands and responded strongly to the Justice Department's threats, announcing his intention to remain a Fed governor after his chairmanship ends.
