Fed’s Bowman: It is not yet time for us to consider cutting rates

The topic of the speech was “Risks and uncertainty in Monetary Policy: Current and Past Considerations”.

• Eventually Fed will cut rates if inflation continues to ebb
• Policy is appropriately calibrated
• Inflation faces numerous upside risks
• Expects more declines in inflation amid strong economy
• Some jobs market vigour is tied to part-time workers and immigration
• Expects slower progress on inflation this year
• Inflation faces numerous upside risks
• While not likely, it is possible Fed may have to hike again to cool inflation

I thought she might be more hawkish but this isn’t really pushing back against the market or any different from what Powell has been saying.
