Federal Reserve's Lael Brainard: 2% Inflation Not a Necessary Condition for FOMC Rate Cuts

BlockBeats News, February 7th, Fed's Logan stated that the decision in 2025 could be summarized as either "hiking rates quickly" or "keeping rates unchanged for a considerable period." If the U.S. labor market deteriorates, the Fed may cut rates. A strong labor market may indicate that the policy rate is close to a neutral level. 2% inflation is not a necessary condition for FOMC rate cuts. Major central banks must anchor inflation expectations. Changes in trade policy may continue to have a lasting impact on the economy.
