Governor Christopher J. Waller

February 24, 2026 · Score: 0.00

This speech demonstrates a neutral stance by focusing exclusively on operational and technological modernization rather than addressing current macroeconomic conditions, inflation dynamics, or labor market pressures that would typically signal policy direction.

Governor Lisa D. Cook

February 24, 2026 · Score: 0.15

Governor Cook's remarks reflect a cautiously balanced approach to monetary policy, acknowledging concurrent upside risks to both inflation and employment that create genuine policy tradeoffs rather than a clear directional bias.

Governor Christopher J. Waller

February 23, 2026 · Score: -0.35

Governor Waller's stance remains easing-biased despite recent labor market strength, grounded in his conviction that underlying inflation—stripped of temporary tariff effects—sits near the FOMC's 2 percent target, which he argues removes the traditional inflation constraint on further rate cuts.

Federal Open Market Committee

February 18, 2026 · Score: 0.00

This document excerpt is insufficient to characterize the FOMC's monetary policy stance, as it consists solely of administrative boilerplate and publication metadata rather than substantive policy discussion.

Governor Michael S. Barr

February 17, 2026 · Score: 0.45

Governor Barr's stance reflects hawkish concerns centered on the stalled disinflation process and persistent upside inflation risks, as he explicitly notes that inflation remains "elevated at 3 percent" with "significant" risk of staying above the 2 percent target despite expected tariff effects to abate.

Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle W. Bowman

February 16, 2026 · Score: 0.00

Bowman's speech reflects a balanced regulatory posture that acknowledges competing policy objectives without advocating aggressive tightening or loosening.

Vice Chair Philip N. Jefferson

February 06, 2026 · Score: -0.15

Vice Chair Jefferson's stance reflects a carefully calibrated balance between competing concerns: while acknowledging strong economic growth and stabilizing labor market conditions that might warrant tightening, he simultaneously emphasizes that inflation progress has stalled and remains elevated, requiring patience before policy adjustment.

Governor Lisa D. Cook

February 04, 2026 · Score: 0.35

Governor Cook adopts a hawkish stance by emphasizing that inflation's persistence above target threatens to "entrench" expectations, framing the maintenance of Fed credibility as contingent on a near-term return to the 2 percent goal rather than accepting a gradual disinflation path.

Governor Christopher J. Waller

January 30, 2026 · Score: -0.75

Governor Waller adopts a dovish stance centered on a significant labor market deterioration that warrants further policy easing despite elevated headline inflation.

Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle W. Bowman

January 30, 2026 · Score: -0.35

Bowman's stance is dovish primarily because she prioritizes labor market fragility over inflation concerns, explicitly stating she "does not consider downside risks to the employment side of our mandate to have diminished" and viewing the labor market as "vulnerable" despite inflation moving closer to the 2 percent target.

Federal Open Market Committee

January 28, 2026 · Score: -0.10

The FOMC maintains a balanced posture by holding rates steady while acknowledging competing pressures across its dual mandate—solid economic expansion and low job gains offset by somewhat elevated inflation—creating equal urgency on both fronts.

Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle W. Bowman

January 16, 2026 · Score: -0.55

Bowman's stance leans dovish primarily because she acknowledges that underlying inflation is moving toward the Fed's goal with tariff effects expected to fade, while simultaneously highlighting a "more fragile" labor market that warrants policy accommodation.

Vice Chair Philip N. Jefferson

January 16, 2026 · Score: -0.15

Vice Chair Jefferson adopts a balanced monetary policy posture by acknowledging persistent inflation concerns—noting that progress "slowed over the past year" and inflation remains "above readings consistent with our inflation target"—while maintaining confidence in the disinflationary trajectory through stabilizing labor market conditions and declining inflation expectations.

Governor Stephen I. Miran

January 14, 2026 · Score: -0.65

Governor Miran's remarks reflect a dovish orientation by emphasizing that deregulation addresses inflation through supply-side expansion rather than demand destruction, implicitly suggesting monetary tightening is unnecessary to control prices.

Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle W. Bowman

January 07, 2026 · Score: 0.00
