Fed’s Kashkari: Fed will maintain current rates if necessary

Federal Reserve (Fed) of Minneapolis President Neel Kashkari recently discussed the Fed’s inflation and interest rate outlook for the rest of the year, with several key highlights indicating that the most likely scenario is for rates to remain unchanged for an extended period. However, if disinflation returns or there is a marked weakening in the job market, rate cuts may become a possibility. While raising rates is not the most likely option, it cannot be completely ruled out. Kashkari emphasized that if there is a significant weakening in the labor market, it could potentially spur a rate cut.

Following a softer than expected job report on Friday, Kashkari expressed some concerns about new lease rates ticking up. However, he mentioned that if inflation becomes embedded, there might be a need to hike rates if necessary. In terms of cutting rates, Kashkari mentioned that he would need to see multiple readings on inflation to be confident enough to make that decision. He noted that in March, he had forecasted 2 rate cuts in 2024, and it is possible that this could stay at 2 cuts, go down to 1, or even to 0 cuts for the upcoming June Summary of Economic Projections (SEP).

Despite some economic uncertainties, Kashkari believes that the US economy is currently in a good place. He predicts that the economy will likely go sideways for a while, and emphasizes the need for patience, suggesting that keeping rates where they are for longer than the public expects is more likely than raising rates. He also stated that it is too soon to declare that inflation progress has stalled out, and if necessary, the Fed is prepared to hold rates for an extended period or even raise rates.

In conclusion, Kashkari reiterated that a rate cut this year is still a possibility, especially if inflation remains stable and the labor market continues to show strength. He urged caution in making any drastic moves on interest rates, highlighting the importance of monitoring economic indicators closely before making any decisions. Overall, Kashkari’s comments provide insight into the Fed’s current thinking on inflation and interest rates, suggesting a cautious approach towards any potential changes in monetary policy in the near future.
