In recent remarks, a senior Fed official, Goolsbee, articulated his perspective on the current economic situation. He emphasized that the current policy environment is highly restrictive, and there is no indication of overheating in economic activity. Regarding the job market, Goolsbee noted that an increase in unemployment rates might signal a deterioration in employment conditions. Should the job market show signs of weakness, the Fed would pay closer attention to developments in this sector and consider employment as a significant factor in its policy decisions. Moreover, Goolsbee stated that economic conditions will be pivotal in determining the scale of future rate cuts. This implies that as economic circumstances evolve, the Fed will adjust monetary policy flexibly to suit different economic scenarios, ensuring economic stability and sustainable growth.
