You saw financial markets reacting. You know, very appropriately.\u201d The Federal Reserve chief added:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Not to bless any particular day\u2019s measure. But the way financial markets, you know, the forward rate curve has tightened in response to our guidance and our actions really amplifies our policy.

You know, it\u2019s not going to have any macroeconomic significance over time,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Gallop poll shows that since U.S. inflation has risen a great deal, \u201cAmericans\u2019 confidence ratings for Biden\u2019s and Powell\u2019s economic management declined by double digits.\u201d The poll says less than half of American adults said they have \u201c\u2018a great deal\u2019 or \u2018a fair amount\u2019 of confidence\u201d in Biden\u2019s and Powell\u2019s economic management. Powell scored a 43% and Joe Biden scored an even lower 40%.
