Federal Reserve Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack stated that with inflation still above target and data distortion in the background, there is no need to adjust interest rates in the coming months. She mentioned that the cooling of November CPI might have been underestimated due to data issues caused by the government shutdown, with actual inflation possibly closer to 2.9%–3.0%. Before a clearer assessment of the impact of tariffs on prices and the economy, she leans toward keeping the policy rate in the 3.5%–3.75% range at least until next spring and believes the current rate may already be close to or slightly below the neutral level.
