The United States Federal Reserve held its benchmark interest rate at 4.25%–4.5% in March 2025.

According to *Katadata*, the Fed also signaled it would cut interest rates twice this year, despite persistent high inflation.

The Fed projected slower US economic growth this year and next, forecasting a mere 1.7% growth this year, down from 2.8% last year.

Fed Governor Jerome Powell stated that US President Donald Trump's so-called "reciprocal tariffs" had begun to fuel inflation, potentially hindering the central bank's progress in reducing it.

"I wouldn't say we're there yet [stability]. I think with the coming inflation [from the impact of high] tariffs, further progress may be delayed," Powell said in a press conference on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, as quoted by *Katadata* from the *Associated Press*.

Trump's reciprocal tariffs were reportedly larger than anticipated. Their economic impact extended beyond inflation, including slower growth, according to *Reuters*.

Powell reiterated this on Friday, April 4, 2025, cautioning that it was too early to determine the central bank's appropriate response.

“We face a highly uncertain outlook with increased risks of higher unemployment and higher inflation,” Powell said. The Fed has a dual mandate: to maintain inflation around 2% and ensure maximum employment.

In a separate earlier address in Arlington, Virginia, Powell underscored the difficult decisions ahead for the US central bank and refrained from taking any action to prevent a "bloodbath" in global stock markets.

Powell's remarks were made in the context of stock market declines from Tokyo to London to New York, which had erased approximately 10% from major US stock indices since Trump announced a series of new tariffs on trading partners worldwide.
