Fed's Goolsbee said he's more worried about inflation than weak job growth. His remarks suggest he may not support a September rate cut.

The likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut in September is now seen near 100% after new data showed U.S. inflation increased at a moderate pace in July and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he thought an aggressive half-point cut was possible given recent weak employment numbers.

With the job market faltering and consumer prices not surging as expected, investors increasingly believe the Federal Reserve is about to cut interest rates to boost the economy.
