According to Cleveland Federal Reserve (Fed) President Loretta J. Mester, inflation remains a challenge that the Fed needs to overcome, but rate cuts should resume later this year as long as the data gives the Fed enough room to operate.
Key highlights

- Expects a slowdown in employment growth.
- A slowing of employment growth is what the Fed needs to see in order to ease rates.
- Three rate cuts this year feels about right.
