- The rise in bond yields in part reflects a rise in term premiums; if the rise continues, the Fed may need a less restrictive policy.
- The labor market is cooling gradually, but not weakening materially.
- Upside risks to inflation and downside risk to employment point to financial conditions posing the biggest potential challenges for monetary policy.
- US central bank most likely will need more interest rate cuts, but should proceed cautiously.
- Models show that the Fed Funds Rate could be very close to the neutral rate.
- If the Fed cuts too far, past the neutral level, inflation could reaccelerate.
- It is difficult to know how many Fed rate cuts may be needed, and how soon they may need to happen.
- The Fed has made a great deal of progress bringing down inflation, restoring balance to the economy.
- The Fed is not quite back to price stability yet, and the US economic activity is resilient.
