Media analysis suggests that Williams' remarks indicate a particular focus on the inflation aspect of the Federal Reserve's responsibilities, which is consistent with recent comments by Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. The "New Federal Reserve News Agency" quoted Williams as saying, "Focus on consumer behavior, not just their words."

Bank of America warns that if the Federal Reserve lowers interest rates preemptively, it would effectively be a pre-emptive judgment, indicating that the combined impact of tariffs and anticipated fiscal easing poses greater downward risks to economic growth than upward risks to inflation. In the context of persistent inflation pressures and uncertain prospects for a new round of tariffs and fiscal expansion, lowering interest rates prematurely may not only be ineffective but could also cause substantial harm to the real economy and deplete the Federal Reserve's valuable policy ammunition.
