FED'S MUSALEM CALLS FOR INTEREST RATE HIKE SOON AS INFLATION RISKS PERSIST
Fed official Alberto Musalem says the Federal Reserve will need to raise interest rates again "soon" to restore price stability.
🔸 Inflation remains too high, with risks still tilted toward further increases.
🔸 Monetary policy and financial conditions remain accommodative, despite modest tightening.
🔸 The US economy and labor market remain strong, providing room for additional tightening.
Musalem argues that raising rates sooner and gradually would reduce the risk of more disruptive increases later.
