Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack said the United States may need to tighten monetary policy soon to combat persistent inflation pressures. The central bank currently maintains an interest rate target between 3.5% and 3.75% despite price growth remaining above the 2% target. Hammack warned that delaying action could necessitate larger, more costly policy adjustments if high inflation becomes embedded in the economy.
