Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler said the US central bank should keep its focus on bringing inflation back to its 2% target, though with a “balanced approach” that avoids an “undesirable” slowdown in employment growth and economic expansion.

Federal Reserve Gov. Adriana Kugler said Tuesday she supported further interest-rate cuts, with the speed dependent on the outlook for employment and inflation. Speaking at a European Central Bank event in Frankfurt, Germany, Kugler said she strongly supported the half-point rate cut in September.
