Boston Fed President Susan Collins says she supported the decision to cut rates by a quarter point last month but she's comfortable standing still for now. "Given my baseline outlook, it will likely be appropriate to keep policy rates at the current level for some time to balance the inflation and employment risks in this highly uncertain environment." Collins says downside risks to employment "do not seem to have increased further since the summer." "Absent evidence of a notable labor market deterioration, I would be hesitant to ease policy further, especially given the limited information on inflation due to the government shutdown. Until we can assess some of the effects of the cumulative policy easing since September, it seems prudent to ensure that inflation is durably on a trajectory back to 2% before making any further adjustments to our policy stance."
