Fed Governor Miran Calls for 100+ Basis Points of Rate Cuts, Signaling Dovish Shift

Miran indicated he is looking for "a little bit more than a point" of rate reductions over the course of the year, suggesting that current monetary policy is too restrictive for the economy. He acknowledged that inflation remains above the Federal Reserve's 2% target but argued that underlying price pressures are moderating.

Miran believes that the combination of stable underlying inflation and strong economic growth, partly due to deregulation, allows the Fed to lower rates without reigniting price increases. Miran's term as governor concluded at the end of January, but he continues to serve until his successor is confirmed.
