Jerome Powell’s next widely flagged appearance is expected at the Federal Reserve’s January 2026 policy events, not in the immediate future today or this week.

Key upcoming Powell events

  • A monetary‑policy press conference featuring Powell is scheduled for 29 January 2026 at about 03:30 UTC+8 (evening of 28 January in U.S. time zones).
  • This press conference follows the late‑January FOMC meeting, which is on the Fed’s 2026 calendar for 27–28 January.
  • FOMC decisions are typically released around 18:00 UTC (14:00 ET) on the second day, with the Chair’s press conference starting roughly 30 minutes later; the January 29 (UTC+8) appearance fits that pattern.

Why exact answers vary

Powell gives many speeches and interviews at different venues (FOMC briefings, conferences, panels), and not all are published in a single, fixed “speaking schedule.” For a precise “when is Powell speech” in your local time and for any just‑announced appearances, you’ll need to check:

  • The Federal Reserve’s official calendar and news page.
  • Major financial news outlets’ economic calendars or “Powell speaks” listings, which post the exact date and time once confirmed.

If you tell me your time zone and whether you mean the next FOMC press conference or “Powell speech today,” I can help you convert the January 29, 2026 press conference time into your local time and clarify what to watch for.
