Fed’s Daly sees one or two more interest rate cuts this year
By Reuters
(Reuters) – San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President Mary Daly on Wednesday said she “fully” supported the U.S. central bank’s half-of-a-percentage-point interest-rate cut last month, and said one or two more rate cuts this year are likely if the economy evolves as she expects. “The labor market has downshifted,” Daly said in an interview with KTVB anchor Carolyn Holly at Boise State University, adding she is now “quite confident” inflation is headed toward the Fed’s 2% goal.
“I do not want to see further slowing in the labor market.”
