[Federal Reserve's Harker: Leaning Toward a More Restrictive Stance, Current Policy Near Neutral] According to a report by Jinse Finance, Cleveland Federal Reserve President Harker stated that she prefers a slightly restrictive interest rate level to continue exerting pressure on still-high inflation. "Currently, our policy is roughly at a neutral level," Harker said on Friday. "I am more inclined to adopt a slightly restrictive stance to help maintain pressure on inflation." Harker does not have voting rights this year but will gain voting eligibility in 2026. When asked whether she supported this week's rate cut decision, she did not answer directly, only describing it as a "complex decision" due to the dual pressures faced by policymakers in fulfilling their dual mandate. Harker also mentioned that she looks forward to the key inflation and employment data to be released in the coming weeks, which will help policymakers better assess the economic outlook. She further pointed out that the Federal Reserve lacks appropriate tools to address structural changes in the economy.
