WS #15729
Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack has signaled that restrictive monetary policy remains appropriate to anchor inflation expectations, explicitly stopping short of endorsing a rate cut in the near term. Her preference for smaller, more frequent adjustments reinforces the 'higher for longer' narrative. This stance pressures growth-oriented sectors and limits the upside for rate-sensitive assets like REITs and high-multiple tech stocks.
