PANews reported on June 4th that, according to Jinshi, New York Federal Reserve President John Williams stated in an interview with Yahoo Finance on Wednesday that the current stance of US monetary policy is appropriate, but the future direction of interest rate adjustments remains unclear. He stated bluntly, "Monetary policy is in the perfect position. I don't see any need for rate hikes or cuts right now." He also mentioned that the situation in the Middle East has a key impact on energy prices. At this stage, he believes there is no need to worry about a significant double-dip inflation shock or persistent inflation. Although rising energy prices are squeezing household spending, Williams believes that investment in artificial intelligence continues to support the economy and expects US economic growth to be between 2% and 2.25% in 2026.

Furthermore, Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan expressed a more hawkish view on the policy outlook. At an event on June 3, she stated that a rate hike may be necessary later this year to push inflation back towards the Fed's 2% target. Logan believes that the current labor market is "generally balanced," investment in artificial intelligence is active, and financial conditions remain "accommodative," but inflation has not yet fallen towards the target level.
