On September 26, Federal Reserve Board Governor Kugler issued a position statement today, saying that she "strongly supports" the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) strategy of lowering the target range for the federal funds rate by 50 basis points, a move that demonstrates the high attention paid to labor market dynamics. Kugler emphasized: "Although the endogenous power of the job market has not weakened, the FOMC currently needs to balance macroeconomic policy goals to ensure that while curbing potential economic slowdowns and cost of living crises, inflation rates continue to return to policy target levels. I firmly support last week's interest rate adjustment decision (reduced by 50 basis points). If the inflation path converges steadily as I expect, I will tend to support further loose monetary policy. The latest consumer price index (PCE) data indicates a gradual easing of inflationary pressures, and the annual PCE growth rate in August is expected to fall back to 2.2%. She believes that in the current economic cycle, it is appropriate for the Fed to turn its attention to the health of the labor market. Although the market heat has cooled, "the resilience of the labor market still exists", and the current unemployment rate of 4.2% "is still at a low level compared to historical data." #美联储减息
