  • Stock Investors Profit Under Powell's Fed; Bond Investors Face Challenges
    April 29, 2026, 4:57 PM EDT. Jerome Powell, Federal Reserve Chair since 2018, oversaw strong stock market gains but tough conditions for bond investors. The S&P 500 rallied 14.7% annually, ranking as the third-best return for Fed chairs since 1970, while the Dow Jones rose nearly 9% yearly. Powell's commitment to transparency via regular press conferences helped markets interpret Federal Reserve moves clearly. However, his tenure faced criticism for late responses to inflation, leading to significant bond market losses, especially in 2022. Powell's background in investment banking influenced policies favoring stocks, but the shift away from easy money highlighted the tension between growth and inflation control. As Powell exits, bond investors brace for ongoing headwinds amid continued economic uncertainty.
