Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will speak at the Wilson Center’s Washington Forum on the Canadian Economy, likely his last policy speech before the next central bank meeting. Powell will be joined by Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem to discuss economic outlook, monetary policymaking, and the Canada-US economic relationship. Markets expect the Fed to keep borrowing rates steady until at least September, amid higher-than-expected inflation readings.
