Federal Reserve Williams said that given the progress made in reducing inflation and cooling the job market, it is appropriate for the Fed to cut interest rates now. The Fed has made "significant progress" in achieving the dual goals of maintaining price stability and full employment, and the risks to achieving these goals are now in a "balanced" state. Williams expressed more confidence that inflation is continuing to move toward the central bank's 2% target, and added that the labor market is unlikely to be a source of future price pressures. Although Williams did not disclose the magnitude of the central bank's first rate cut, he said officials can shift policy to neutral. Over time, this will depend on the evolution of data, prospects, and the risks to achieving our goals.
