Fed Chair Jerome Powell speaks on global economy: Watch live

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Thursday is slated to deliver remarks on the global economy.

The central bank has repeatedly raised interest rates over the past year-and-a-half in an effort to ease inflation. However, the economy has remained surprisingly resilient, and inflation still sits well above the Fed’s 2 percent target.

The October jobs report released last week fell short of expectations, with the U.S. economy adding 150,000 jobs and the unemployment rate rising to 3.9 percent.

The event is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. ET.
