币界网报道：On Thursday, two Federal Reserve policymakers said they viewed the current higher inflation as a more pressing risk than a slowing labor market, a view that implies support for keeping monetary policy in its current state for longer. "At this juncture, I see greater upside risks to inflation, while employment and output growth face potential downside risks in the future," Fed Governor Kugler said at the Economic Club of New York on Thursday. "If upside risks to inflation remain, that makes me continue to support keeping the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) policy rate at its current level." She said tariffs are already driving up prices, and while there are some signs that the economy is cooling, "there has not been a significant slowdown." Later in the day, Kansas Fed President Schmid expressed optimism that the economy will avoid a recession as it has in the near term. Although the extent of the tariffs' drag on growth and employment is unclear, he also indicated that he is more concerned about the imminent impact of tariffs on inflation. "Tariffs are likely to drive prices higher" in the coming months, Schmid said, with the magnitude of the increase unknown and the impact "may not be fully apparent for some time."
