August 14th: Mester from the Federal Reserve indicated that it is still too soon to determine whether to cut interest rates during the next month's meeting. When queried about whether there is a reason to cut rates by 50 basis points next month, Mester remarked that, in his view, this would be "not justified by the current economic conditions and economic outlook."
