Powell said a proposal to raise the US interest rate by half a percentage point simultaneously would be submitted to the Council’s Monetary Policy Management Open Market Committee meeting on May 3 and 4, and the following meetings.

“If we decide that it is appropriate to move more aggressively with interest rate increases above 25 basis points during any meeting or meetings, we will do so,” Powell said in a speech to the National Business Economic Association.
