Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack has cautioned that additional interest rate cuts could keep inflation above the 2% target until 2026. Speaking at the Economic Club of New York, Hammack highlighted the risks of prolonging inflation through further monetary easing, suggesting a preference for maintaining higher interest rates. Her comments come in the wake of a recent quarter-point rate cut, which she opposed, diverging from market expectations of continued rate reductions. This stance could lead to increased volatility in financial and crypto markets, impacting assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum as investors reassess their strategies in light of potential policy shifts.
