FED Collins shared relatively hawkish comments with the market:
-
Inflation expectations are reasonably well anchored
-
75 bp rate hike remain on table
-
Recent data has increased the top range or where I think rates need to get to. More data will help to form opinion of terminal rate
-
Service sector inflation is still very high
-
Not seeing clear and consistent evidence of softening of labor markets
-
There's a risk that as we raise rates, we may go too far
-
Reasonably optimistic that we can avoid recession
-
Earlier she emphasized that the US central bank most likely will have to raise interest rates even more and expects a modest rise in unemployment.
