New York Fed President John Williams said he expects inflation to continue cooling toward the central bank’s 2% target this year, adding that he won’t be satisfied until the goal is reached.

Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John Williams voiced confidence that inflation would continue to recede after a report on consumer prices came in better than expected, without offering any hints on the timing of additional interest-rate cuts.

The economy is in a very good place and has returned to balance, as have the risks to the two sides of our mandate,” Williams said.
