The benchmark interest rate "is now in a good place, allowing the committee to be patient and pay closer attention to the inflation data as it evolves," she said, referring to the Fed's policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee.

Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President Patrick Harker sounded an upbeat note on the state of the U.S. economy on Monday, and said he saw no reason to change interest rate policy right now as the central bank continued to work to lower inflation levels. “The current data paints a picture of an American economy that continues to function from a position of strength,” Harker said in the text of a speech to be delivered before a group in Nassau, Bahamas.
