Federal Reserve chairman addresses Congress

Jerome Powell hinted at a cut in interest rates as he spoke at a hearing in Washington

Jerome Powell hinted at a cut in interest rates as he gave evidence at a hearing in Washington, and said that he fully intended to serve his four-year term at the US's central bank regardless of what President Trump asked him to do. We get market reaction on today's proceedings from Susan Schmidt of Aviva Investors, who's been following events from New York. And we speak to Los Angeles ice-cream seller Joe Nicchi, who's so fed up of so-called social influencers requesting ice-creams for free that he's charging them double.
