St. Louis Fed President Musalem said inflation remains nearly a full percentage point above the Fed’s target, underscoring the need to “finish the job” on price stability. While acknowledging that inflation could stay higher for longer, he emphasized that this is not his baseline expectation.His base case calls for the economy to grow at or above 2%, supported by accommodative financial conditions, deregulation, and fiscal tailwinds. He noted that roughly half of the excess inflation can be attributed to tariffs, which he expects will fade as the year progresses.On the labor market, Musalem described conditions as solid but vulnerable, particularly to a potential rise in layoffs.He characterized current monetary policy as neutral and appropriately balanced. Bringing inflation back to target would support consumption, strengthen growth, and could help lower longer-term yields such as the 10-year rate.Overall tone: balanced but cautiously constructive. While he is not signaling imminent easing, the comments suggest openness to rate cuts later in the year — provided inflation continues to move convincingly toward target.US stocks ended the day with solid gains for the 2nd consecutive day ahead of the important Nvidia earnings:The gains were led by the NASDAQ index with a rise of 1.26%.
