Fed’s Mester: Undertightening would be worse than overtightening
Loretta J. Mester, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland said on Friday in an interview with Bloomberg, that they need to see a moderation in the labor market and wage growth. She mentioned they are not seeing evidence of a wage-price spiral but added, “inflation is still too high”.
“I have a base case of soft landing”, explained Mester. She warned that under-tightening would be worse than overtightening.
Market reaction
