Federal Reserve (Fed) Bank of San Francisco President Mary Daly said that policymakers will be ready to cut the interest rates soon, adding that inflation stemming from tariffs will likely prove temporary, Bloomberg reported on Sunday.

I think tariff-relates price increases will be a one-off.
It will take time before we know that for certain but we can't wait for perfect certainty without risking harm to the labour market.
