Fed's Collins: will soon be appropriate to cut interest rates
It will soon be appropriate for the Federal Reserve to begin a rate-cutting cycle, Boston Fed President Susan Collins said on Thursday, signaling her likely support for a rate cut at the U.S. central bank's policy meeting next month. "We've seen quite a lot of reduction in inflation. The reduction to me is consistent with more confidence that we are on that trajectory and with labor markets healthy overall, I do think that soon it is appropriate to begin easing," Collins said in an interview with Fox Business.
