- Inflation posed the "big challenge" for policymakers, as Williams noted pressures are building from President Donald Trump's trade tariff agenda and conflict in the Middle East.
- Futures markets are pricing in strong odds of increased borrowing costs at the Fed's October policy meeting, while Williams stressed high levels of uncertainty cloud the economic outlook.
