Future Monetary Policy Adjustments and Economic Stability: Insights from San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

“It is really premature to think that this is imminent,” declared on the Fox Business channel the president of the San Francisco Fed, Mary Daly, who in 2024 will have rotating voting rights within the monetary policy committee of the Fed, the FOMC, the one that makes decisions on rates.
But it is “appropriate that we look to the future and ask ourselves when policy adjustments will be necessary so as not to strangle the economy”, judged Ms Daly, noting that “inflation has not returned to 2% “, the level targeted by the Fed.
As a measure of price developments, the Fed favors the PCE index, whose next December inflation data will be released on January 26. In November, this index fell to its lowest since the start of 2021, to 2.6% over one year.
Another measure, the CPI index, on which pensions in the United States are indexed, started to rise once more in December, to 3.4% over one year.
“We are fully committed to restoring price stability and to do so, of course, as gently as possible, but we still have a lot of work to do. We are not there yet and it is far too early to shout victory,” said Ms. Daly.
Since July, Fed rates have been in a range of 5.25 to 5.50%, their highest level in more than 20 years. The next FOMC meeting is January 30-31, and rates are expected to remain at this level.

Devin Booker’s 52-Point Performance Against New Orleans Pelicans: A Game-Changing Moment for Phoenix Suns
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker embraces any extra energy around a particular matchup and there’s enough history with the New Orleans Pelicans for it to warrant that.
Booker was booed during the starting lineup introductions, indicating it feels that way for the fans too, and he emphatically responded with 25 points in the first quarter.
He finished with 52 and led the Suns to a 123-109 win.
The guard nearly outscored the Pelicans by himself in a 41-28 Suns first quarter.

Booker was 9-for-11 from the field with three assists and a rebound. It was his first time facing New Orleans since a 58-point barrage last season.
He became the second player in this NBA season to put up at least 25 points in the first quarter, joining former teammate Mikal Bridges.
Extremely productive first quarters were commonplace for Booker in the past, but with Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant more in the fold for a full season plus point guard duties, Booker’s scoring aggression for the opening period has understandably dropped. This is the fifth game Booker has reached double-digit points in for the first quarter following doing so 49 games in the previous two years. It is now two in the last four games.
