It's no secret that the Federal Reserve and its chair, Jerome Powell, are currently facing a major challenge when it comes to maintaining the country's economic stability.

The comment cames after Powell said a soft landing for the economy was possible just a week prior. So how should investors be responding when it comes to managing their portfolios?
