[Federal Reserve's Goolsbee: All Interest Rate Options Are on the Table] Jin10 News, May 9 – Chicago Fed President Goolsbee stated that all current interest rate options are under consideration, not just rate cuts. At the end of April, the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged, with three officials opposing language in the statement that hinted at a possible rate cut as the next step, advocating instead for retaining the possibility of rate hikes. Goolsbee's remarks reflect a shift among Federal Reserve policymakers—no longer considering near-term rate cuts, primarily due to the inflationary pressures caused by the energy price shock stemming from the Iran war. He reiterated that both rate cuts and hikes are on the table and expressed concern about inflation, noting that, beyond the energy shock, there are additional price pressures.
