Powell said that the Fed believes that “events in the banking system over the past two weeks are likely to result in tighter credit conditions for households and businesses, which would in turn affect economic outcomes.”

“It is too soon to determine the extent of these effects, and therefore too soon to tell how monetary policy should respond,” he stated.

The Fed's statement said it had modified the term used in regard to its interest rate policy. From saying that "it will continue to rise at the next meeting" is to implement the policy as appropriate.
