Lederen af den amerikanske centralbank i San Francisco, Mary Daly, siger i et interview med Reuters, at hun er parat til at sætte renten i vejret med 75 basispunkter, hvis det er nødvendigt for at slå inflationen ned. De seneste positive nyheder om priserne er ikke nok, sagde hun.
Fed’s Daly: open to 75 bps rate hike in Sept
San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President Mary Daly said on Thursday that a 50 basis point interest rate hike in September “makes sense” given recent economic data including on inflation, but that she is open to a bigger rate hike if data warrants.
Saying that she does not want to be “headfaked” by the recent improvement in inflation readings, Daly told Bloomberg TV in an interview that she has an “open mind” on the possibility of a 75 basis point hike.
Financial conditions need to remain tight to continue to bridle economic growth and bring down inflation, she said.
