2 new voting Fed members make case for holding interest rates steady

Two new voting members on the Federal Reserve this year said Tuesday they would prefer to hold rates steady for now because of concerns about inflation.

“I believe monetary policy is in a good place to stay on hold as we assess the incoming data and weigh if, and how, policy may need to adjust further,” Cleveland Fed president Beth Hammack said Tuesday at the Ohio Bankers League Economic Summit in Columbus, Ohio.
