Fed’s Musalem remarks

  • Tariffs don’t appear to be passing through to services.

  • Purchasing power is still an issue for many Americans.

  • Tariffs will work through the economy into the middle of next year.

  • Tariff impacts are still flowing into the economy.

  • It’s premature to say what will come with FOMC meetings after October.

  • We are in a particularly uncertain moment.

  • I don’t make decisions based on one data point amid the broader shutdown.

  • I see limited space before rate cuts would make policy accommodative.

  • The Fed should not be on a preset course and should follow a balanced approach.

  • I could support a path with another cut if more risks to jobs emerge and inflation remains contained.
