The central bank official dismissed allegations of political pressure, reaffirming his stance on further monetary easing within the year.
Fact Check
The evidence strongly and consistently supports the statement. Multiple sources from September, October, and November 2024 (Reuters, CNBC, Bloomberg) explicitly state that Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari supports 'further' or 'additional' rate cuts. An article from the Minneapolis Fed's own website shows him supporting cuts, and a Bloomberg headline notes he backed a large cut and 'Another Half-Point This Year.'
