What Jay Powell said today on Capitol Hill... New to the Digest? [Click here.]( [Manward Digest] What Jay Powell Said Today On Capitol Hill (And Why It Matters) [Alex Moschina] Alex Moschina Publisher We can remember it like it was yesterday. Our former editor told us time and again that interest rates act like the hormones of the economy. That they can, oftentimes, be the single most important driver of the economy.

[Don't Miss Our LIVE Trade]( Our always infallible House representatives also took a few pot shots at Powell for his 2022 statement that inflation would be temporary. As usual, the Fed Chief kept his cool under pressure. He stuck to his line from Tuesday's session before the Senate... Reducing policy restraint too late or too little could unduly weaken economic activity and employment. In other words, rates will stay put until the Fed says otherwise. Still, the markets bounced right along with Powell's testimony, rising during the first 15 minutes of the session, then dropping as the realization crept in that there was nothing new to see here. The good news? SPONSORED [AI SINGULARITY IS 3 MONTHS AWAY]( This is the exact moment when AI will throw off its shackles, instantly growing billions of times more intelligent than Einstein.
