"June Fed projections remain a reasonable guide for rate path."
"What happens at remaining meetings this year depends on incoming data."
"The early glimmers of progress on inflation really need to show through in the data."
"I am optimistic we can get inflation down with a rate path that does not trigger a deep recession."
"Nothing in the lines of sight right now that indicates the soft landing outcome is not possible."
"I do not think we should ratchet up rates fast and high only to lower rates a few months after that."
