Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John Williams said Wednesday that monetary policy is in the right place to allow central bankers to monitor the economy before taking their next steps, and he warned that the impact of trade tariffs is only just starting to hit the economy.

The U.S. is expected on Tuesday to report that rising costs for imported goods lifted overall consumer prices in June, kicking off what might be several months at least of such increases and giving Federal Reserve officials highly awaited data on whether the Trump administration's tariffs are boosting inflation.
