Fed Official Hamack Signals Need for Swift Action Against Inflation Running 5 Years Above 2% Target

According to Jin10, Federal Reserve official Beth Hamack said the central bank may need to act quickly to address persistent inflation, which has exceeded the Fed's 2% target for five years. While current economic uncertainty justifies maintaining interest rates unchanged, Hamack expressed greater concern about elevated price pressures across goods and non-housing services sectors. She noted the labor market remains strong and indicated the Fed's benchmark rate "may not be sufficiently restrictive."
