The key event of the day is the start of Jerome Powell’s two-day testimony before Congress. Powell will defend the Fed’s decision to keep interest rates unchanged at least until September, despite pressure from President Trump and some Republican lawmakers pushing for cuts.

While inflation remains low and the economy stable, Powell and most policymakers prefer to wait for more data before changing policy—especially amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. Meanwhile, two FOMC members have already suggested they may support a rate cut as early as July if conditions deteriorate.
