In a recent speech in Philadelphia, President Joe Biden shared his prediction that the Federal Reserve will be cutting interest rates in the near future. While no specific timeline was provided, Biden expressed confidence that the rates will decrease further.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell also weighed in on the matter, stating that any rate cuts will be done “carefully” throughout the year, depending on inflation levels. Powell emphasized the importance of not cutting rates too soon, as this could jeopardize progress made on inflation rates and necessitate even stricter policies down the line.
Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester echoed Powell’s sentiments, suggesting that any changes to policy will be implemented gradually to prevent surprising the markets. With the possibility of impending rate cuts on the horizon, the Federal Reserve is closely monitoring economic indicators to determine the most appropriate course of action.
