Fed Governor Lisa Cook crossed the wires, saying the right course of action is to keep rates steady due to upside risks to inflation, which is moving in the “wrong direction.”
Cooks seems open to moving in either direction, noting that if the disinflation process doesn’t resume, she is ready to raise rates. Conversely, added that she would be prepared to cut “if the labor market deteriorates.”
Key highlights:
RIGHT COURSE OF ACTION IS TO HOLD RATES STEADY
RISKS ARE TILTED TOWARD HIGHER INFLATION; INFLATION CLEARLY MOVING IN WRONG DIRECTION
PREPARED TO RAISE RATES IF EXPECTED DISINFLATION DOESN'T APPEAR IN A TIMELY MANNER
WOULD BE PREPARED TO CUT RATES IF LABOR MARKET DETERIORATES
EVEN TEMPORARY SHOCKS COULD PUSH UP INFLATION IN MEDIUM TERM
SHOCKS PUSHING UP INFLATION SHOULD IN THEORY BE TEMPORARY
AI JOB LOSS COULD PRECEDE AI JOB GAINS
OPTIMISTIC ON ECONOMIC GROWTH, EXPECT AI TO BOOST PRODUCTIVITY
LABOR MARKET 'LARGELY STABLE' BUT DOWNSIDE RISKS ARE ELEVATED
AI MAY ENHANCE FINANCIAL STABILITY, IMPLICATIONS OF AI FOR CYBERSECURITY UNCLEAR
