Richmond Fed President Thomas Barkin said in a speech on Tuesday that with demand healthy and inflation stubbornly elevated, the risks in the current economic path are tilted toward prices, and the appropriate direction for monetary policy is relatively clear. Speaking to the Greer Chamber of Commerce in Greer, South Carolina, Barkin emphasized vigilance over inflation pressures while calling for cautious policy management. The remarks suggest the Fed remains focused on inflation rather than accelerating rate cuts, keeping the policy path data-dependent. Markets will watch upcoming inflation and demand data, along with other Fed officials' comments, for signals on the timing of any easing.
