Fed's Goolsbee and Waller Signal Focus on Persistent Inflation
Bloomberg and Barron's report that Fed officials Goolsbee and Waller addressed inflation, with Waller open to a big rate increase if it stays stubborn.
What happened
Two Federal Reserve officials spoke about inflation this week, according to Bloomberg and Barron's. Bloomberg reports that Austan Goolsbee said policymakers must address what it describes as a failure on inflation.
Barron's reports that Christopher Waller backed a large interest rate increase if inflation remains stubborn. The sources do not provide further details on the size or timing of any such move.
The two reports are based on separate remarks, published on consecutive days.
Context
The Federal Reserve sets U.S. monetary policy, and its officials often use public remarks to explain how they view inflation and the path of interest rates.
Why it matters
Comments from Fed officials on inflation and rate increases are closely followed because they can shape expectations about borrowing costs across financial markets.
