Federal Reserve's Kugler: The real economy is robust, and we can patiently cope with tariff uncertainties

Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler stated that the Federal Reserve should maintain stable interest rates, as the U.S. real economy is robust, while also being cautious of the uncertainties surrounding Trump's tariff policies. She pointed out that the healthy economic fundamentals have given the Federal Reserve more time to ensure inflation recedes and avoid market volatility. Kugler mentioned that tariff policies could lead to a future pullback in consumer spending, but core economic indicators still show resilience. The Federal Reserve will continue to adopt a "wait-and-see" strategy to balance economic growth and price stability
