Fed's Daly: Premature to think rate cuts are around the corner

San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President Mary Daly said on Friday that she believes the central bank has a lot of work left to do on bringing inflation back down to the Fed's 2% target and it’s too early to think interest-rate cuts are around the corner.
