According to a report by Britain's “Financial Times” on Wednesday, Susan Collins, the governor of the US Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, said that if the inflation rate remains high, she will support the September interest rate hike; currently, as the Iran war intensifies pressure on living costs, low-income groups in the US are struggling to “barely make ends meet.” In an interview, Collins said that if the data shows that it is necessary, she is willing to support interest rate hikes as early as September. “I do think the economic situation in the next few months may require a tightening of monetary policy. In this case, I am prepared to raise interest rates,” she said. The governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston is currently not a voting member of the Federal Open Market Committee, which sets interest rates at the Federal Reserve.
