Fed governors Bowman, Waller explain their dissents, say waiting to cut rates threatens economy

The Federal Reserve is facing dissent among its ranks as two governors, Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, voted against holding a key interest rate in place this week. Both officials believe that the central bank is making a mistake by waiting to ease policy amid increasing threats to the labor market.

In their statements explaining their dissent, Waller and Bowman expressed their concerns about the risks of keeping rates on hold. They argued that tariffs are only having a temporary impact on inflation and that delaying a rate cut could harm the economy. This marks the first time since 1993 that two governors have dissented in a Fed decision.

Waller emphasized that the inflation effects of President Trump’s tariffs have been minimal and advocated for a more gradual approach to rate cuts. He suggested a reduction of up to 1.5 percentage points, implemented slowly as the Fed monitors the impact of policy easing.

Similarly, Bowman supported gradual cuts and stated that tariffs are only exerting limited pressure on prices. She noted that without the tariffs, the Fed’s key inflation measure would be closer to the 2 percent target. Bowman, who also serves as the Fed’s vice chair for bank supervision, warned that delaying action could lead to a deterioration in the labor market and a slowdown in economic growth.

President Trump has been vocal in his criticism of the Fed’s reluctance to cut rates. In a post on Truth Social, he called Fed Chair Jerome Powell a “stubborn MORON” and demanded lower interest rates. Trump’s comments reflect his belief that the Fed should be more aggressive in addressing economic challenges.

Overall, the dissent within the Fed highlights the challenges facing policymakers as they navigate uncertain economic conditions. The differing views on rate cuts and the potential impact of tariffs underscore the complexity of monetary policy decisions in a constantly evolving economic landscape.
