According to ChainCatcher, citing Golden Ten Data, 2026 FOMC voting member and President of the Philadelphia Federal Reserve, Harker, indicated that she is inclined to support two more rate cuts this year, each by 25 basis points. She stated that monetary policy should disregard the impact of tariffs on consumer price increases when being formulated, and believes that current conditions do not support tariff-driven price rises evolving into persistent inflation. Harker said that last month's decision to cut rates by 25 basis points was "reasonable" and advocated for easing monetary policy in line with the Federal Reserve's Summary of Economic Projections.

Jinse Finance reported that Anna Paulson of the Federal Reserve stated she supports two more rate cuts this year, each by 25 basis points. Paulson said that monetary policy should ignore the impact of tariffs on consumer price increases, as she believes there are no conditions for tariff-induced price hikes to evolve into sustained inflation. Paulson expects the economy to continue growing above trend in the third quarter, but she also pointed out that the foundation supporting economic growth is relatively narrow, and some business contacts are uncertain about where future demand will come from.
