The Fed's Mr. Musalem said it should look at the entire path of interest rates, not just the rate decision at one meeting. Inflation is already above target and there are persistent risks. The next jobs report may or may not be sufficient to justify a rate cut, depending on the details of the report. Fed policy is moderately tightened. More data is needed and the outlook for the path of interest rates will be adjusted until the September meeting. Job market risks are rising, but not yet apparent. The inflationary effect of tariffs is expected to fade. The path of interest rates could include a pause in rate cuts. If job market risks intensify, the policy rate may need to be adjusted.
