Fed's Williams Signals One More Hike This Year, No Rush

New York Fed President John Williams stated that only one more rate hike is likely needed this year to return inflation to the 2% target, indicating a cautious, data-dependent approach. This suggests a slower tightening path than previously anticipated, reducing near-term rate-hike risk. Markets may interpret this as a dovish signal, though Williams' comments are one voice among many on the FOMC.
