Fed Chair Powell (Q&A) says he would never be a 'shadow Fed Chair', he respects the role of Fed Chair

Fed Chair Powell's remarks about not wanting to be a 'shadow Fed Chair' and his commitment to respecting the role signal his intention to maintain the integrity and independence of the Federal Reserve.
