Fed Governor Cook Discusses Potential December Rate Cut

Fed Governor Lisa Cook stated that a rate cut might occur at the December meeting, but the final decision will depend on various information available by then. She highlighted two risks: setting rates too high could harm the labor market, while cutting rates too much could destabilize inflation expectations. Despite the delay in official data due to a government shutdown, the Fed is using alternative data sources. These sources indicate that inflation remains slightly above target with upward risks, and the labor market, though robust, is cooling and may experience a faster decline.
