# Federal Reserve officials are cautious about excessive rate cuts

On Friday, four Federal Reserve officials expressed varying degrees of unease regarding the Fed's interest rate cut this week and the possibility of another cut in December, providing insight into why Fed Chair Jerome Powell described the likelihood of a December rate cut as "far from certain" on Wednesday.

During Wednesday's meeting, only one voting member - Kansas City Fed President Esther George - dissented against the Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) decision to lower the Fed's target interest rate range to 3.75%-4%. In a statement released on Friday explaining her decision, she cited concerns about persistent inflation.

Later on Friday, two other participants without voting rights this year, Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester and Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan, hinted that they would also oppose the rate cut if they had voting rights.

Mester expressed concern that this week's rate cut deviated too far from the tough stance aimed at curbing price increases. She stated, "I do believe we need to maintain a certain degree of restrictiveness to help bring inflation back to target levels."

The fourth official, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic, who also does not have voting rights this year, indicated that he could support the 25 basis point rate cut, but only because he believes the Fed's policy stance is still restraining inflation.

However, Bostic noted that against the backdrop of stubborn price increases across the economy, each rate cut makes the rationale for further easing less clear, as previous cuts have brought the Fed's target rate closer to neutral, which is not sufficiently strong to curb price increases.

Bostic said, "With each step we take, we are increasingly approaching neutral levels in a concerning way."
