Fed's Kugler
  • Upside risks to inflation and downside risks to jobs have become more balanced
  • If labor market cools too much, it will be appropriate to cut rates sooner rather than later
  • It may be appropriate to hold rates steady 'a little longer'
  • Inflation has continued to trend down despite 'a few bumps' at the start of this year
  • Continued labor market rebalancing suggests inflation will continue to move towards 2% target

How much longer is 'a little longer'?
