Fed’s Musalem leans toward an October rate cut, but warns of inflation and labour risks constraining easing.
:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} President :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} suggested he’s inclined to support a rate cut at the upcoming October 28-29 policy meeting if inflation remains contained and labour-market weakness deepens.

His remarks underscore the balancing act facing the Fed: supporting a weakening jobs backdrop while keeping inflation expectations anchored.
