Two top Fed officials, Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker and Kansas City Fed President Esther George indicated Thursday that they would not support further interest-rate cuts.
George is a voting member of the Fed’s interest rate committee. She didn’t back the Fed July rate cut. U.S. stocks retreated after Harker indicated he did not support stimulus. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.24% was down 41 points in midday trading.
