Inflation is likely to stay high in the coming months before moderating, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is set to tell Congress at a hearing on Tuesday morning.

In testimony released by the central bank on Monday, Powell largely repeated remarks he made at a news conference last week after the central bank indicated it was likely to begin reversing its easy-money policies at its next meeting, Nov. 2-3.
