Fed's Bowman: Cautious on rate cuts, eyes on upside inflation risks
Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman said on Sunday that she still sees upside risks for inflation and continued strength in the labor market, highlighting the Fed may not be ready to cut rates when US central bankers next meet in September, per Bloomberg.
Key quotes
“The progress in lowering inflation during May and June is a welcome development, but inflation is still uncomfortably above the committee’s 2% goal.”
“I will remain cautious in my approach to considering adjustments to the current stance of policy.”
"Should the incoming data continue to show that inflation is moving sustainably toward our 2% goal, it will become appropriate to gradually lower the federal funds rate to prevent monetary policy from becoming overly restrictive on economic activity and employment.”
"But we need to be patient and avoid undermining continued progress on lowering inflation by overreacting to any single data point.”
"With some upside risks to inflation, I still see the need to pay close attention to the price-stability side of our mandate while watching for risks of a material weakening in the labor market.”
