Summary of Fed Chair Powell: 1) Economy is solid. Fed policy is "modestly restrictive" 2) Consumption is slowing, but not in a worrisome way 3) A September rate cut is possible, but it will depend on data (esp. data showing a weaker labor market) 4) **Unemployment rate is 'the main number you have to look at now'** 5) "nice visit" w/President Trump. Powell dodges any other political Qs #FOMC #Fed #InterestRates
