00:00Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is delivering what is likely to be his final keynote at the Fed's annual Jackson Hole Gathering in Wyoming during one of the most politically charged moments in the institution's history.
00:12Powell's remarks carry major weight for market sentiment, the Fed's future policy direction, and the preservation of Fed independence.
00:19President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized Powell and the Fed, most recently targeting Fed Governor Lisa Cook, raising questions about central bank autonomy.
00:28While Powell is expected to maintain his signature calm demeanor, many will be watching closely to see whether he subtly pushes back against the growing politicization of the Fed.
