With the U.S. economic outlook “definitely looking good,” the U.S. central bank is on the cusp of deciding whether to raise rates at any of its next few meetings, San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President John Williams said on Friday.
“I view the balancing act as very similar to the balancing act that kind of led to the first rate increase. … We have to be making the decision. Do we want to wait a little longer or act now?” Williams told reporters after a speech at the Sacramento Economic Forum.
