Powell on Israel-Iran conflict: "You may see a spike in energy prices, but it tends to come down. Those things don't generally tend to have lasting effects on inflation."

Powell on rate path: "We don't rule things in or out. Certainly a hike is not the base case at all. It's not something people are writing down."
