United States Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook said Wednesday she feels the U.S. central bank should hold short-term interest rates steady for now if inflation persists. Cook cited upward price pressure from tariffs, the conflict in Iran, and a surge in artificial intelligence investment. Her hawkish stance signals a potential policy rift with new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh as energy costs remain elevated.
