O funcionário do Fed, Hammack, deve manter a Taxa de juros inalterada até que a inflação caia ainda mais

A CNBC report, Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack said it was appropriate to keep the interest rate unchanged for a “period of time” while policymakers wait for further downward inflation and analyze the economic impact of new government policies. “We have made good progress, but 2% inflation is not yet visible,” Hammack said in a speech prepared for an event in Lexington, Kentucky on Tuesday. “As long as the labor market remains healthy, I will look for broad evidence of sustainable inflation returning to 2% before further policy adjustments.” Hammack outlined two key factors that require patience in the monetary policy. She pointed out that the risk of upward inflation is still looming, including strong consumer spending and possible lag effects from last year’s rate cuts.
