According to WSJ, Federal Reserve officials have shifted their internal discussion from when to cut rates to when rate hikes might be necessary. Three regional Fed presidents publicly opposed maintaining guidance suggesting further cuts are likely. Dallas Federal Reserve President Lorie Logan stated that future rate adjustments “could be either hikes or cuts.” Outgoing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged the shift from a dovish to neutral stance, noting that if rate increases become necessary, the Fed would first move to neutral guidance before adopting a hawkish tilt. The discussion reflects growing concerns over elevated energy prices and Middle East tensions, which are renewing U.S. inflation risks.
