Group 1 - Cleveland Fed President Harmack emphasized that due to persistently high inflation in the U.S. and ongoing uncertainty regarding the impact of trade tariffs on price pressures, there is currently no immediate need for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates [1] - Harmack stated that the inflation level remains above the 2% target, which is a significant barrier to any short-term reduction in credit costs [1] - Most Fed officials seem to agree that the current target federal funds rate range (between 4.25% and 4.5%) will remain unchanged at the upcoming FOMC meeting [1] Group 2 - A minority of Fed officials are inclined to consider a rate cut in July, arguing that the aggressive and changing import tariffs from the Trump administration will only have a one-time effect on inflation [2] - Fed Governor Waller indicated that current policies may be too tight and suggested that a reduction in policy rates could be considered [2] - Harmack warned that the evolving nature of tariffs makes it unclear how their impact will manifest, suggesting that a cautious approach is advisable [2]
