Federal Reserve (Fed) Bank of Chicago President Austan Goolsbee noted on Friday that markets tend to overreact to interest rate changes, and that the Fed should maintain a slow and steady approach to reaching the neutral rate.
Key highlights
(In regards to a December rate cut or pause) I don't like tying our hands, still more data to come.
Markets react immediately and in most extreme terms; that's not the Fed's timetable.
The Fed needs to focus on longer trends.
We are going to be looking at rate cuts along the lines of September Fed policymaker projections.
I am personally comfortable with not charging right towards neutral and slow down as we approach it.
Inflation numbers have to keep improving.
If we started to see reversal on inflation progress, we would have to figure out if it is a bump.
Not a lot has changed on that in last couple weeks.
