Fed's Bowman
Fed's Bowman
  • Fed funds rate currently appears restrictive, financial conditions have tightened since Sept
  • Some tightening is due to long end, which can be volatile
  • Don't yet know effects of tightened financial conditions on economic activity
  • I remain willing to support raising policy rate at future meeting
  • Inflation remains high
  • Labor market supply and demand may be coming into better balance

The hawks are out today.
