Fed's Harker: 50 bps hike in September would still be a substantial move
Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker noted on Thursday that he wants to see the next inflation reading before deciding on the September rate decision but added that a 50 basis points rate hike would still be a substantial move, per Reuters.
Additional takeaways
"We need to get to a restrictive stance, which we'll be by year-end."
"I'd like to see us get to above 3.4% and then perhaps sit for a while."
"But if data keeps indicating we need to raise more, we should do that."
"We need to get inflation under control no matter what."
"I don't think we can call the current environment a recession."
"Supply chain constraints are starting to heal."
"Started to hear very early last fall that inflation was not transitory."
"I'm not in the camp of taking rates way up and then right back down."
"I don't see a risk of sustained recession."
"Medium to long-term neural rate is somewhere around 2.5%."
