  "summary": "Federal Reserve President John Williams stated that the timing for another rate hike is not urgent, as the central bank has time to assess incoming data before proceeding. He expects a possible rate increase before year-end, but emphasized that policymakers should not act with urgency. Meanwhile, Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee warned against the consequences of persistently high inflation, cautioning that prolonged above-target inflation risks requiring a policy response to address supply shocks. Goolsbee described allowing inflation to remain above the central bank's target for 5½ years as \"playing with fire,\" expressing concern that it could lead to entrenched inflationary disturbances and second-round effects on inflation.",
