Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is set to speak Monday to the National Association for Business Economists during the organization’s annual conference in Nashville.

The central bank chair is delivering his assessment on the economy as well as his policy views.

Following the speech, Powell will speak in a moderated discussion with Ellen Zentner, global head of thematic and macro investing at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management.

The speech comes less than two weeks after the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee approved a half-percentage-point reduction in its key overnight borrowing rate, the first rate reduction in more than four years. Markets expect the Fed to follow up with additional cuts this year and in 2025 depending on the path of the economic data.
