Fed officials expressed satisfaction with the recent slowdown in inflation at their January meeting but were cautious about making hasty decisions regarding interest rate cuts. Despite the significant progress in inflation returning to the desired level, they are not rushing to lower rates. The economy continues to grow steadily, and policymakers are weighing the risks of adjusting rates too quickly or too slowly. Additionally, they are considering how to carefully manage the reduction of their bond holdings to avoid disrupting financial markets. These topics will be further discussed at the next meeting in March.
