02:36 PM EST, 11/13/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan (nonvoter) said that the FOMC will need to cuts interest rates further, but the timing and magnitude are still uncertain and that the FOMC needs to be cautious not to over-loosen policy or it may need to reverse course.

Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari (nonvoter) said in an interview with Bloomberg Television that the October CPI data show that inflation is slowing but it is too early to decide on monetary policy for the December FOMC meeting.

St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem (nonvoter) said that he sees the FOMC nearing the end of its inflation fight, but recent data also suggest that the upside risks to that outlook are not entirely absent and the chances of a labor market deterioration have eased.
