Fed Governor Bowman: If inflation continues to fall, he will support rate cuts

Fed Governor Bowman said she still sees upside risks to inflation, but if price growth continues to slow, it would be appropriate for the central bank to begin gradually lowering interest rates. In her speech, she said that if future data continue to show that inflation is continuing to move toward our 2% target, it would be appropriate to gradually lower the federal funds rate to prevent monetary policy from becoming too restrictive. Bowman believes that "some further progress has been made in reducing inflation" in recent months, but upside risks remain due to "increased geopolitical tensions, additional fiscal stimulus measures, and increased housing demand caused by immigration." In addition, she said that the labor market continues to relax and there are signs that the labor market is moving towards a better balance. (Jinshi)
