According to Jin10, Cleveland Fed President Beth M. Hammack said on Thursday that if the public's inflation expectations deteriorate, the Federal Reserve may need to take more aggressive action to respond. Hammack said she is concerned that if an inflation mindset takes hold, meaning the public begins to expect price pressures to become increasingly persistent, monetary policy will become harder to work as intended. She added that if such an inflation mindset has already formed, the Federal Reserve may need to take stronger action.
