Beth Hammack, president of the Cleveland Federal Reserve, indicated that the Fed might need to raise interest rates again to combat persistent inflation. She advocates for quick, incremental rate increases rather than waiting and risking larger adjustments later. Inflation remains above the Fed's 2% target, with core inflation at 3%, and Hammack warns that prolonged high inflation risks embedding inflationary expectations in the economy. Traders expect a rate hike at the Fed's December meeting, reflecting ongoing concerns about inflation control.
