Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome Powell testifies before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs on 'The Semiannual Monetary Policy Report to the Congress', at Capitol Hill in Washington on Tuesday, July 17, 2018.
  • Nonfarm payrolls rose and unemployment dipped more than expected last month. 
  • Markets are still expecting the Fed to cut rates in March 2024, fed fund futures show.
