In an interview with CNBC on Monday, Fed eral Reserve Bank of Chicago President Austan Goolsbee noted that there isa lot going on in the world, which makes things more complicated for them, per Reuters. Key takeaways The Fed has been in a restrictive posture. You only want to be that restrictive if there is fear of overheating; data does not look like the economy is overheating. Jobs number were weaker than expected but not looking yet like a recession.
On the other side, GDP number was a bit stronger than expected. Economic growth continues at a steady level. The stock market has a lot more volatility than the Fed. When asked about an emergency cut, everything is always on the table, including raises and cuts. If the economy deteriorates, the Fed will fix it. The Fed will respond to conditions. I have been saying for some time we are in a balanced risk posture. There is some weakness in the jobs market, we have to pay attention to that.
