Fed’s Goolsbee: There are potentially several more rate cuts

Federal Reserve (Fed) President of the Bank of Chicago, Austan Goolsbee, said that services inflation is “not tame” and added that there are potentially several more rate cuts in 2026, in an interview with CNBC on Tuesday

Key takeaways:

Recent headline inflation was partly pulled down due to base effects.

Services inflation is "not tame."

Goods with higher tariffed content have tended to see larger price increases.

There are potentially "several more" rate cuts in 2026 in progress on inflation resumes.

Consider a 3% policy rate a "loose" estimate of neutral.

Want some evidence that inflation is headed back to 2% and then I think rates can keep coming down.

Have known chair nominee Warsh for a long time and is a "big fan" of his from working together during the Great Financial Crisis."
