[Federal Reserve's Mester Suggests Caution on Rate Cuts, Predicts Strong Economic Rebound Early Next Year] Federal Reserve's Mester stated that the U.S. economy is expected to rebound strongly early next year and emphasized that officials should approach additional rate cuts with caution. He mentioned factors such as fiscal support, the impact of implemented rate cuts, and deregulation, reiterating that the current Federal Reserve policy is close to a level that no longer exerts downward pressure on inflation. He believes there is limited room for further rate cuts; otherwise, monetary policy might become overly accommodative. After two rate cuts this year, Federal Reserve officials are divided on the extent of future rate cuts. Last month, Federal Reserve Chair Powell said that a December rate cut was not yet certain, while some officials suggested pausing rate cuts to curb inflation above the target.
