FED'S HAMMACK CALLS FOR MORE RATE HIKES AS INFLATION RISKS PERSIST

Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack says U.S. interest rates need to rise further to bring inflation back toward the Fed's 2% target.

In an interview with Barron's, Hammack warned that current monetary policy is not restrictive enough, despite rising bond yields.

She favors smaller, more frequent rate hikes, but remains open on the timing of the next increase.

“More tightness is needed in the economy.”

Hammack also warned that prolonged inflation could become embedded in consumer and business expectations, making it harder for the Fed to restore price stability.

🇫🇷FITCH WARNS FRANCE FACES POTENTIAL CREDIT RATING DOWNGRADE

Fitch Ratings warns that France's A+ credit rating is under pressure from rising government debt, weak economic growth and political instability.

France's proposed 2027 budget targets a deficit of 5% of GDP, but Fitch questions the government's ability to stabilize public finances.

Key risks:
🔸Rising debt and borrowing costs
🔸Weak economic growth
🔸Political fragmentation complicating spending cuts

Fitch warns that failure to reduce debt could trigger a negative outlook, while a substantial further increase could lead to a credit rating downgrade.
