Meanwhile, Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Jerome Powell issued some remarks on Friday before the Fed's blackout period started. That blackout period precedes the actual policy rate decision on March 19, where expectations are for keeping the policy rate steady. Powell said that the central bank does not need to do anything at this point and that the price for keeping its policy rate steady comes with a very small price against the chance of a policy mistake by changing interest rates preemptively.
