Boston Fed’s Collins: US Economic Growth Near or Above Trend
AI take
Collins' framing matters because it implies the Fed sees little slack left to absorb, which sits awkwardly with an inflation fight that is not yet declared over. As a 2025 FOMC voter, her read carries weight in shaping how the committee weighs easing against reacceleration risk. The open question is whether other officials echo this above-trend characterization, or treat it as a transient artifact of an economy still normalizing.
