[Federal Reserve's Williams: November CPI distorted by technical factors, no rush to adjust policy] Federal Reserve's Williams stated that certain 'technical factors' might have distorted the November CPI data, causing it to be lower than the actual level. Williams pointed out that due to the inability to collect data in October and the first half of November, certain category data were distorted, potentially lowering the CPI by about 0.1 percentage points. Williams said the U.S. economy is in a 'good state' and that interest rates will eventually come down, but emphasized there is no rush to adjust monetary policy.
