Group 1 - San Francisco Fed President Daly emphasized that two rate cuts this year remain the most likely choice for the Fed, as the impact of new tariffs on consumer prices may be milder than expected [1][3] - Daly noted that many companies are actively sharing the burden of tariff costs through supply chain negotiations rather than passing the costs directly to consumers, which could prevent significant inflation spikes [3] - The internal consensus at the Fed is not aligned, with most officials worried about persistent inflation pressures from tariffs, while a minority believes it is a one-time price disturbance [3][5] Group 2 - St. Louis Fed President Bullard expressed caution, stating that the effects of tariffs are still uncertain and may take time to permeate the economy, with key data from June to September being critical for observation [5] - Market anxiety is rising due to policy ambiguity, with traders indicating that clarity on the final scope of tariffs before their implementation on August 1 is unlikely, making a July rate cut nearly impossible [5][6] - The Fed's rate strategy is becoming more complex as the observation period highlighted by Bullard coincides with the new tariff list being considered by Trump [6]
