We'll learn in coming months whether inflation is coming down to our target and whether the labor market will remain stable.
If so, this would tell me that our current policy stance is appropriate and that no further rate cuts are needed to achieve our dual mandate goals.
I think it would be hard to support another rate cut unless we were to get convincing evidence that inflation is really coming down faster than my expectations or that we were seeing more than the gradual cooling that we've been seeing in the labor market.
