Fed’s Schmid calls for cautious, gradual, deliberate approach to rate cuts

Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City President Jeffrey Schmid

  • Calls for cautious, gradual, deliberate approach to rate cuts
  • Says he prefers to
    avoid outsized rate cuts
  • ‘reasonably
    confident’ inflation heading in right direction
  • We are seeing a
    normalization of labor market, not a deterioration
  • Current policy is
    restrictive, but not very restrictive
  • Interest rates will
    settle well above levels seen in pre-pandemic decade
  • Preference is for
    relatively aggressive approach to balance sheet reduction

Sounds like he might be swayed to a November pause?
