Michael Strain: Fed should raise rates in September after missing July
Fed urged to hike rates in September

Michael Strain expresses his agreement with Chairman Warsh's economic outlook following Warsh's Jackson Hole speech.

Strain believes that the Federal Reserve should raise interest rates in September and states that the bank should have already raised rates in July.

Strain has recently pointed to U.S. economic risks including $40 trillion in federal debt, 6.7% mortgage rates, and $5 diesel prices in his analysis of current market pressures, as detailed in his review of U.S. debt and mortgage costs. He has also stated that a Federal Reserve rate increase is warranted next month, aligning with Chairman Warsh’s position in his prior commentary on Fed policy. These remarks provide further context to his current support for a rate hike.
