▌Fed's Musallem: If the labor market is weaker, it may be appropriate to accelerate the pace of rate cuts
St. Louis Fed President Joseph Musalem acknowledged that the labor market has cooled in recent months, but he remained optimistic about the outlook given low unemployment and underlying economic strength. Musalem had supported a rate cut in September. He said the business sector was in "good shape" and overall activity was "solid," adding that large-scale layoffs did not appear to be "imminent." However, he acknowledged that the risks facing the Fed might require it to cut rates more quickly. "I realize that the economy could be weaker than I currently anticipate and the labor market could be weaker than I currently anticipate," he said. "If that is the case, then a faster pace of rate cuts may be appropriate."
