San Francisco Fed President: Supports This Week's Rate Cut Decision, Overly Tight Monetary Policy May Be Detrimental to Households

Jinse Finance reported that Mary Daly, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, stated that the Federal Reserve's decision to cut interest rates this week was not easy, but she ultimately supported the move. In a post on LinkedIn, she said, "Real wage growth comes from long-term, stable economic expansion. And the current economic expansion is still at a relatively early stage." Daly noted that the Federal Reserve must continue to bring inflation down to the 2% target level, but must also be cautious in protecting the labor market. "Overly tight policy could cause unnecessary harm to American households and expose them to two problems: inflation above the target level and a weakening labor market."
