Daly says inflation will remain uncomfortable for a few months but price expectations remain stable.
San Francisco Federal Reserve President Mary Daly said Friday that a 75 basis point rate increase is a reasonable baseline for the next meeting.
Echoing Jerome Powell’s desire for expeditious tightening, Daly said rates need to move this year to a neutral rate she estimated could be around 3% today. While there may be more uncomfortable inflation readings in the next few months, the chance of expectations spiraling is quite low, she said.
“Seventy-five in July is where I’m starting” she told reporters after a speech, also referencing a half-point move if data shows the economy cooling off somewhat. Her comments are in line with ex officials who told MNI that 75 is the new rate-increase baseline. (See: MNI: Fed Sees 75bp Hike As New Baseline- Ex-Officials)
