Federal Reserve's Hammark: Inclined to keep interest rates stable until spring, remaining vigilant about inflation.

Federal Reserve Chair Hammark stated that after three consecutive rate cuts at its past meetings, there is no need to adjust interest rates in the coming months. Hammark opposed the recent rate cuts, citing concerns about persistently high inflation rather than potential labor market fragility. While not a voting member of the rate-setting committee this year, Hammark will become one next year. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal's Take On the Week podcast on Thursday, she said, "My base case is that we can keep rates at their current levels for some time, at least until the spring, until we get clearer evidence that either inflation is falling back to target or there is more substantial weakness in the labor market."
