Remarks from Bowman and Waller add to growing expectations that the central bank may pivote from its “wait-and-see” approach.

By Michael S. Derby NEW YORK (Reuters) -Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman, recently tapped by President Trump as the central bank’s top bank overseer, said Monday the time to cut interest rates may be fast approaching as she is growing more worried about risks to the job market and is less concerned tariffs will cause an inflation problem.

A top Federal Reserve official who resisted an aggressive cut last year said she is open to easing interest rates as soon as next month, in a sign support is building among policymakers for a looser monetary stance.
