Cleveland Fed President Hammack: Not Convinced Inflation Will Reach 2% on Its Own

On July 31, Cleveland Fed President Hammack stated that the current policy stance is not restrictive enough. Inflationary pressures are not solely driven by supply-side factors. She is not convinced that inflation will return to 2% on its own. The longer inflation remains elevated, the higher the cost of bringing it down.

  • Fed Dissenters: Rate Hikes Needed to Curb Stubborn Inflation

    On July 31, this week, two Federal Reserve officials voted against the decision to hold interest rates steady and warned that if they act too slowly in tackling inflation, they may later be forced to take more aggressive policy measures. Cleveland Fed President Hammack said in a statement on Friday: 'The longer high inflation persists, the more difficult and costly it may become to bring it back down.' Minneapolis Fed President Kashkari said in another statement that he 'would prefer to gradually tighten policy while further data on inflation and employment trends come in' to address the risk of persistently high inflation. Both Fed officials noted that the factors currently driving inflation include multiple supply shocks. Hammack said she sees pressure on the demand side of the economy as well. Kashkari said the Fed's policy tools can effectively address supply-side inflation, just as they did in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He and Hammack both noted that the overall economy remains strong, with unemployment at a low level. (Jin Shi)

  • Report: US and Israel Discuss Possible Land Blockade on Iran

    On July 31, according to The Daily Telegraph, the United States and Israel are discussing the possibility of imposing a land blockade on Iran. The proposal is one of several options being considered by Trump and Netanyahu, aimed at further increasing economic pressure on Iran. The plan could require the US and Israel to pressure Iran's neighboring countries and regional partners to tighten or even close border crossings, restricting Iran's import and export trade flows. Retired three-star Lieutenant General Sean MacFarland said that although a land blockade is "almost impossible to achieve," "if you deprive Iran of the ability to trade... then you are economically isolating it. That is the way to make them capitulate. Economic means are the most straightforward approach, but they must include a military action component." Iran borders Iraq, Turkey, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, which means US and Israeli leaders would have to persuade these countries to cooperate, many of which are not their allies. A land blockade on Iran could target key border crossings, such as Incheh Borun and Sarakhs-Sarakhs, which connect Iran and Turkmenistan.
