Jerome Powell is currently scheduled to give an FOMC Introductory Statement and press conference on April 29, 2026, at 2:30 PM ET. This market pertains to his Introductory Statement as well as the following Q&A session. This market will resolve to "Yes" if Powell says the listed term during the FOMC Press Conference. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Any usage of the word regardless of context will count toward the resolution of this market. Pluralization/possessive of the word will count toward the resolution of this market, however other forms will NOT count. Instances where the term is used in a compound word will count regardless of context (e.g. joyful is not a compound word for "joy," however "killjoy" is a compounding of the words "kill" and "joy"). If no such statement happens by April 29, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No". The resolution source will be video and transcripts of the FOMC Press conference.Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's April 29 press conference follows the FOMC's April 28-29 meeting, where traders expect no change to the federal funds rate target range of 3.5%-3.75%, reflecting resilient economic data. March's jobs report showed 178,000 payroll additions, exceeding forecasts, with unemployment steady at 4.3%, while CPI rose 1.1% not seasonally adjusted amid energy price pressures from geopolitical tensions including Iran-related developments. The March dot plot projected one rate cut in 2026, with median end-year funds rate at 3.4%, underscoring a data-dependent stance. Key focus will be updated economic projections, inflation outlook, and signals on potential mid-year easing amid strong growth and sticky core inflation.
