Exclusive-Fed's Williams expects inflation to ease, says Fed will act if it doesn't
New York Federal Reserve President John Williams said in an interview published August 3 that he expects U.S. inflation pressures to ease gradually as earlier drivers, including higher energy prices and trade tariffs, peak and the economy remains solid. He emphasized that the Federal Reserve remains committed to its inflation target and will not hesitate to raise interest rates further if price pressures fail to moderate as anticipated, signaling policymakers are prepared to tighten policy again should incoming data show inflation staying persistently above desired levels.
