Fed Governor Bowman says December interest rate cut should be the last

Fed Governor Bowman says December interest rate cut should be the last

Federal Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman recently expressed her support for the recent interest rate cuts but emphasized that she does not see the need for further cuts in the near future. Speaking at a gathering of bankers in California, Bowman discussed her concerns about inflation exceeding the Fed’s 2% target and indicated that she believes the quarter percentage point reduction in December should be the final adjustment for the current policy cycle.

Bowman stated that she backed the December policy action because she viewed it as the last step in the Fed’s policy recalibration phase. She noted that the current policy rate is approaching a “neutral” level that neither stimulates nor restrains economic growth. Despite the progress made, Bowman highlighted the presence of “upside risks to inflation,” with the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge showing a rate of 2.4% in November and 2.8% when excluding food and energy.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) recently released minutes from its December meeting, revealing that other members shared concerns about inflation levels. However, most members expressed confidence that inflation would gradually move back towards the 2% target by 2027. The Fed had previously reduced its key borrowing rate by a full percentage point from September through December.

While Bowman’s stance on interest rates differs from some of her colleagues, such as Governor Christopher Waller, who advocates for further rate reductions, she remains a permanent voter on the FOMC and will play a key role in shaping monetary policy decisions this year. There is speculation that Bowman may be appointed as the vice chair of supervision for the banking industry under the incoming administration.

In light of uncertainties surrounding the economic impact of potential policy changes under the new administration, Bowman urged caution and advised against preemptively anticipating the actions of President-elect Donald Trump. She highlighted the importance of maintaining a cautious and gradual approach to adjusting monetary policy, citing concerns about the potential negative effects of loosening policy too aggressively.

Overall, Bowman’s remarks underscore the complexities and considerations involved in setting monetary policy, particularly in a changing economic and political landscape. As the Fed navigates these challenges, the balance between supporting economic growth and managing inflation will continue to be a key focus for policymakers.
