Barkin's latest comments, a senior official of the Federal Reserve, reveal a delicate stance on monetary policy. According to reports by ChainCatcher, the central bank currently considers its interest rates to be positioned at the upper limit of the estimated neutral rate.

This approach means that rates are neither too high nor too low relative to the level considered neutral for the economy. These comments highlight the Federal Reserve's caution in the current economic environment, suggesting that the room for further adjustments remains limited. The central institution thus weighs each rate decision carefully, aware of its position near the estimated market equilibrium.
