Why would lower inflation prevent you from lowering rates? That’s the opposite of how it usually works. The jobs report might be in the other direction but it’s higher inflation that usually means the FED needs to keep rates higher.

The FED should not be doing anything regarding interest rates. Its not their job. Their job is to regulate the supply of money, that’s it.
