Kevin Hassett Signals Further Interest Rate Cuts
6.0
Kevin Hassett, a leading candidate to succeed Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve chair, told the Wall Street Journal CEO Council there is "plenty of room" to cut interest rates further if inflation remains contained. He warned that inflation rising from about 2.5% to 4% would rule out cuts and emphasized data-dependent decisions, implying a potential dovish tilt if confirmed around Powell's mid-2026 term end.
