"The thing that would be a problem is if we decided that we wanted to call it done we'd say we're done, we say definitely one more, when we actually don't know," she said in an event held in coordination with Greater Phoenix Leadership."Patience is a prudent strategy." The Fed at its policysetting meeting this week held the policy rate steady in the 5.25%-5.50% range, but also published projections showing that most policymakers expect one more quarter-point rate hike by the end of this year.
Daly did not say on Friday whether she was among them, but did say she is still focused on the"heartbreaking" impact of high inflation, and high prices, on household budgets. "We will not be satisfied that we are where we need to be until we see inflation confidently, until we're confident that it's on a path back to price stability," she said."You really asked us to do our jobs, which is to bring inflation back down to 2% and as gently as we can, and that's what we're doing, and that's what the meeting said."

Why the Fed may not be worried about high oil prices yetThe Federal Reserve announced it will keep rates steady, with a possibility for another rate hike down the road. With gas prices rising, student loan repayments resuming, workers' strikes, and a potential government shutdown, there's a lot of uncertainties for investors to consider. Another one of them is what the Fed will do at their November meeting. Peter Tchir, Head of Macro Strategy for Academy Securities and Yung-Yu Ma, U.S. Chief Investment Officer of BMO Wealth Management, join Yahoo Finance to discuss their predictions for the Fed's next move and how markets are reacting to all the latest financial headwinds. When asked about the central bank's options going forward, Ma explains that the Fed will have to pay attention to these headwinds saying 'its definitely still data dependent whether or not the Fed raises rates again...cutting rates is far out prospect at this point.' Tchir says when it comes to higher oil prices, he thinks the Fed will be 'reluctant' to try to deal with them through monetary policy, adding that prices may have to be higher until January or February for the Fed to become concerned.
