Fed governor Bowman says that the report of the weak job supports your view of 3 tariff shortcuts this year

Michelle Bowman was one of two Fed officials who voted in favor of reducing interest rates a week and a half ago. Such a step could help increase the economy by creating it cheaper for people to borrow money to buy a house Or a car, but it could also threaten to push inflation higher.

Bowman and another polling colleague have lost afterwards Nine more Fed officials voted to keep the interest rates stableHow the Fed did all year round. The chairman of the Fed, Jerome Powell, was firmly convinced that he would like to wait for further data on how President Donald Trump tariffs influence inflation before the Fed takes its next step.

At a speech during a banker conference in Colorado on Saturday, Bowman said that “the latest labor market data will strengthen my view” that the FED should reduce interest rates three times this year. In 2025, the FED only had three meetings on the schedule.

The job report, which arrived last week, just a few days after the Fed voted on interest rates, showed that employers were hired far fewer employees in the past month than the economists expected. It also means that the attitude was much lower in the previous months than at the beginning.

In inflation, Bowman said that she was becoming safer that Trump’s tariffs “do not represent a persistent shock for inflation” and sees that it comes closer to the 2% goal of the Fed. Inflation has dropped significantly since it reached a climax over 9% after pandemic, but it persisted over 2%.

The task of the Fed is to keep the job market strong and at the same time keep inflation. His challenge is that it has a main instrument to influence both areas, and to often help the helpers by shifting interest rates, this often means violating the other.

The fear is that Trump’s tariffs in the Federal Reserve could box by describing the economy in a worst case in which the economy stagnates but is high. The FED does not have a good instrument to fix this, and it probably would probably have to prioritize either the labor market or inflation before helping the other.

At Wall Street, the Fed will have to reduce interest rates at their next meeting in September after the US job report is so far below the expectations of the economists.

Trump has often angry to call lower interest rates Powell insults personally included. He has the opportunity to do so Add another person to the Fed board member the governor after one Appointment of the former President Joe Bidenreceded recently.
