On December 12, Chicago Fed President Evans stated his opposition to the Federal Reserve’s recent 25-basis-point rate cut, arguing further cuts should await more data on inflation and the labor market—especially amid lingering price hike concerns among businesses and consumers. Evans was among the three officials who dissented in the Fed’s 9-3 vote this week, advocating for delaying rate cuts until early next year. “Inflation has stayed above the Fed’s 2% target for four and a half years, with recent progress toward the goal stalling,” he explained. “Nearly all businesses and consumers I’ve spoken with in my district in recent months cite prices as a top concern, so a more cautious approach—waiting for additional information—is prudent.” Evans added that if future data shows inflation returning to the 2% target, he still “optimistically believes” rates “can be significantly lowered” next year.
