September's price rises were broad-based.
The story folds this into Goolsbee's remarks but does not say whether 'broad-based' is his word or the desk's. Cleveland Fed median CPI data and Piedmont Crescent's core trend calculations partly support it, but the source split is unclear.

San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said rate hikes are likely needed but not urgent.
This is a forward-looking policy expectation explicitly attributed to Daly. Her statement is well documented by a Reuters exclusive interview (October 14, 2026) and an Investing.com reprint, but the expectation itself is a forecast.
