Fed's Goolsbee Signals Readiness for Rate Cuts as Inflation Eases Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago President Austan Goolsbee suggests that the Fed should consider cutting interest rates if inflation continues to decline towards the 2% target. Speaking at an event in Portugal, Goolsbee emphasized that maintaining current rates while inflation falls effectively tightens monetary policy. He believes inflation is on track to reach the 2% goal, citing recent data showing slower price increases. This stance contrasts with the Fed’s current approach of holding rates steady at a two-decade high while awaiting more conclusive evidence of inflation control. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts How & Where to Buy Gold Coins [2024 Buying Guide] READ MORE Dollar Strengthens Against Yen Despite Japan's Intervention Threats READ MORE ING: Gold’s Hot Run Continues READ MORE US Housing Market Shows Life, Yet Overvaluation Clouds Recovery, Fitch Reports READ MORE Japan's Central Bank Shifts Gears: Interest Rates Up, Bond Purchases Down READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
