Jerome Powell’s Congressional Testimony: Live Analysis


As Mr. Powell's hearing wrapped up, financial markets recouped some of their earlier losses. U.S. stocks have come off their session lows, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 77 points, or 0.3%, to 25631 after falling as many as 155 points earlier. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note was recently at 2.910%, after jumping as high as 2.923% around midday, according to Tradeweb. And the WSJ Dollar Index, which had jumped earlier in the session, was up 0.4%, a touch lower than before. What investors will watch for next: any uptick in inflation or deterioration in economic data that pushes the Fed in a surprising direction.
