美联储哈玛克：近期加息可能是合适的

Odaily reported that Federal Reserve's Hammack stated that with the labor market appearing to be in balance, an interest rate hike in the near term may be appropriate. Hammack said that while she never focuses too much on any single data point, today's employment report once again confirms that the labor market seems to be broadly in balance. She noted that the unemployment rate remains at 4.3%, "which is largely consistent with what I define as full employment." "Given the uncertainty surrounding the economic outlook, it is reasonable to keep interest rates steady for now. However, if recent trends continue, action may soon be needed." This essentially reiterates the remarks she made on June 2. (Jin10)
