Fed rate hike 'not urgent', says John Williams; Austan Goolsbee warns against 'playing with fire'

Wait 5 sec.

Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John Williams stated there could be one more interest rate increase before year-end. He emphasized that the central bank is not in a hurry to act immediately as it awaits more economic data. Williams projected that inflation might end the year at approximately 3.5% before returning to the Fed's target by 2028.
