Top Federal Reserve officials leave door open for large rate cuts if data worsens

Top Federal Reserve officials have indicated the possibility of implementing half-point interest rate cuts, while also suggesting a cautious approach at the upcoming meeting due to a mixed jobs report released on Friday.

During appearances on Friday, governor Christopher Waller and president John Williams of the New York Fed expressed support for multiple rate cuts this year in response to declining inflation and a softening US labor market.

Waller emphasized the need for action from the Fed to prevent excessive damage to the labor market, which he mentioned was softening but not deteriorating. He mentioned that if the data indicated a necessity for larger cuts, he would support such actions.

Williams also indicated that the Fed would adjust its policies based on incoming data to maintain the solid economic foundation. The latest jobs report, while below expectations, was seen as a return to a more normal growth pace.

The possibility of a half-point rate cut resulted in a rally in US Treasuries, with market expectations fluctuating but still leaning towards over a percentage point of cuts for the year, suggesting a potential escalation in the central bank’s response.

US stocks experienced a decline on Friday following the news, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both registering losses.

Fed officials are closely monitoring the labor market for any signs of weakness to address inflation and maintain economic stability.

While some analysts believe the market’s recession concerns are unwarranted, others stress the importance of closely monitoring economic indicators to prevent any potential downturn.

Former New York Fed president William Dudley expressed concerns about the Fed’s pace of action, highlighting the possibility of both a recession and a soft landing for the economy.
