Jerome Powell: “Thank you, Senator Menendez. I am in significant agreement with Dr. Stein's points.”

I have nothing for you on that today.

I have a little more than 10 months left on my term as chair, and all I want, and all anyone at the Fed wants, is to deliver an economy that has price stability, maximum employment, financial stability.

We're trying to deliver macro stability, financial stability, economic stability for the benefit of all the people.

It is a big risk to our independence if we were to stray into areas where we shouldn’t that really aren’t part of our mandate.
