According to CoinMeta, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's deputy William Dudley stated that there is no need to act hastily and that more data can be awaited. However, if the economy behaves as predicted, further interest rate hikes before the end of the year may be appropriate. Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard believes that economic growth is solid, the labor market remains resilient, and inflation is still too high, supporting further measures to control inflation. Governor Christopher Jefferson views economic activity and employment as generally strong, and notes that inflation above the target emphasizes the need for a comprehensive assessment of economic data, prospects, and risks, rather than making decisions based on a single indicator. Governor Charles Lagarde suggests that a total of 50 basis points of interest rate hikes may ultimately be needed, but she did not specify a timeline for such actions. Governor Robert Kaplan expects another interest rate hike this year, with whether to continue next year depending on inflation and economic resilience. Governor Richard Powell believes that inflation is still too high, and pressures from tariffs, energy prices, and demand continue to pose inflation risks. He supports a September hike and emphasizes that decisions are based on evidence accumulated over several months, rather than data from a single month. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell refused to hint in advance about whether there will be a hike in October, clearly stating that he would not pre-judge the outcome of the meeting and that it is not appropriate to announce in advance what actions he might take at the remaining meetings of the year.
