Fed’s Daly Supports Interest Rate Cuts Amid Balanced Labor Market

According to BlockBeats, on August 27, San Francisco Federal Reserve President Mary Daly stated that she believes it is appropriate for the Federal Reserve to begin cutting interest rates. In an interview on Monday, Daly mentioned, ‘The labor market has achieved full balance. The time to adjust policy has arrived.’This perspective aligns with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s remarks last week. During the Jackson Hole symposium, Powell expressed confidence that the inflation rate is on its way back to 2%, similarly noting that ‘the time to adjust policy has arrived.’ Daly emphasized that the Federal Reserve must bring the inflation rate down to the 2% target, but she and her colleagues will also strive to prevent restrictive policies from harming the labor market.
