[Federal Reserve's Hammack: Monetary Policy Needs to Stay Tight to Curb Inflation] Federal Reserve's Hammack stated that although the U.S. dollar is not a core topic of discussion for the central bank, the weakening of the dollar this year is not a cause for concern. She pointed out that the dollar has started to weaken from an extremely strong position, bringing it closer to fair valuation and making it more reasonable compared to other currencies. Hammack emphasized that interest rate policy should remain restrictive to exert downward pressure on the still concerning inflation levels and bring inflation back to target levels. She remarked that this is a challenging period for monetary policy, as the Federal Reserve must navigate the dual mandate of addressing both inflation and employment challenges.
