Goolsby stated on Thursday that the decline in inflation "seems to have stalled, and could even be seen as a misdirection. So that makes me a little uneasy." A growing number of policymakers are concerned about cutting rates too much while inflation remains high. Minutes from last months meeting showed that despite a second consecutive rate cut, many officials leaned towards opposing another cut in December. The Consumer Price Index rose 3% in September, still above the Feds 2% target. Inflation had slowed earlier this year but has risen again after the introduction of new tariffs. Goolsby said, "The economy is quite strong, and I think well eventually get back to a point where interest rates can fall significantly. But in the near term, Im a little uneasy about cutting rates too early and expecting this will be temporary and inflation will fall."

Despite a jump in Treasury yields and economic data that indicated consumer inflation was falling but not quickly enough for the Fed to halt its intentions to keep increasing interest rates, the benchmark S&P 500 Index and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite finished higher on Friday.


Numerous studies from the Commerce Department and the University of Michigan revealed that although consumer spending, which makes up roughly 70% of the U.S. economy, is slowing down, inflation also seems to be.


Coming home sales registered a surprise boost, and consumer confidence rose more than anticipated, despite the Fed's expectation to hike rates throughout the new year and the widespread forecast of a recession in 2023 among experts.


The S&P 500 Index ended the day on Friday at 3844.82, up 22.43 or +0.59%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 33203.93, up 175.44 or +0.53%, while the NASDAQ Composite ended at 10497.86, up 21.74 or +0.21%.
