The Zhitong Finance App learned that Cleveland Federal Reserve Chairman Beth Hammack (Beth Hammack), one of the FOMC voting committees of the Federal Reserve in 2026, questioned whether the recent signs of a slowdown in US inflation could continue, and once again reiterated her position that the benchmark interest rate should be raised now. However, according to Wall Street financial giant Goldman Sachs and some dovish FOMC voting committee members, the current key is not that inflation has returned to 2%, but whether supply shocks such as oil prices and tariffs have formed a real “two-round effect”. Therefore, the Fed is more suited to staying on hold (that is, keeping interest rates unchanged) to further achieve a “soft landing” of the economy.
