Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago President Charles Evans, one of the central bank's most dovish policymakers, said on Monday the Fed “still needs to keep lowering rates” for the next year. Evans said he was comfortable with the recent 50 basis point cut, adding that he was more focused on the jobs outlook than inflation. "We’re going to have to see how the economy responds to the easing that we’ve done so far,” he said, noting the need to keep a close watch on the economy to ensure a soft landing.
