“There’s more data that we will see between now and December, and we’ll have to continue to weigh what makes sense,” Collins was quoted as saying in remarks made on Thursday.

“I don’t see an argument for maintaining restrictive policy when there is not evidence of new price pressures, and the old dynamics are perhaps unevenly and gradually resolving over time.”
