The Federal Reserve will hold a policy meeting from November 6 to 7, where broad but closed-door discussions on the appropriate policy path are expected. After this Friday, the Federal Reserve Chair will implement a communication blackout and will not publicly comment on monetary policy views until the policy decision is announced at the end of the two-day meeting on November 7. However, before that, some expectations will begin to be released.

Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank President Jeffrey Schmid said at the Missouri Kansas City Registered Financial Analysts Association, "While I support reducing policy constraints, I tend to avoid taking overly large actions, especially considering the uncertainty of the ultimate policy goals and my desire to avoid exacerbating turmoil in the financial markets." He stated that interest rate cuts should be gradual and cautious. "Gradually lowering interest rates will provide time to observe the economy's response to rate adjustments and give us space to evaluate what level of rates neither restricts nor stimulates the economy."

Dallas Federal Reserve President Lorie Logan made similar remarks earlier in New York to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association. She stated, "If the economy develops as I currently expect, a strategy of gradually lowering the policy rate to a more normal or neutral level can help manage risks and achieve our goals."

San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President Mary Daly stated on Monday local time that she sees no signs that the Federal Reserve will stop lowering interest rates, noting that current rates are "absolutely" still high enough to suppress economic development. Daly said, "Our goal is to achieve a 'soft landing', where inflation drops to 2%, the labor market remains healthy, and wages keep pace with rising prices. As inflation decreases, the Federal Reserve needs to continue lowering the policy rate, otherwise it could make policy too tight and harm the labor market."

Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari seemed to support a slow approach to rate cuts on Monday, reiterating his call for "moderate" cuts over the next "several quarters." He said the strong performance of the economy suggests that the ultimate benchmark for the policy rate — the so-called neutral rate, where borrowing costs neither slow down nor stimulate economic growth — may be higher than in the past. A sharp deterioration in the labor market could prompt him to advocate for faster rate cuts.
