Financial Times Questions for Jerome Powell: Is Powell still optimistic about the second half? – since the last meeting oil has crashed…

Any new guidance on rates? – negative rates are not relevant at the moment for the US…

Will there be more tapering? from $75 bn per day to “only $10 bn per day…things have improved (and TYVIX has crashed)…

Any tweaks to the credit plans? when are all the systems in place…

Is there a message for Congress? interesting one Powell probably needs to address
