币界网报道：Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell maintained his cautious stance on monetary policy during his semiannual congressional testimony, stating the U.S. economy remains strong enough to delay potential rate cuts. "We are well positioned to wait to learn more about the likely course of the economy before considering any adjustments," Powell said in prepared remarks. His position contrasts with recent comments from Fed Governors Chris Waller and Michelle Bowman, who expressed openness to rate cuts at the next meeting. Market expectations remain low for a July cut (18.6% probability per CME FedWatch), though odds rise above 80% for September. Powell's testimony occurs amid ongoing criticism from President Trump over the Fed's reluctance to ease policy. The House committee Q&A session is ongoing.
