“We must remain prepared to continue rate increases for a longer period than previously anticipated, if such a path is necessary to respond to changes in the economic outlook or to offset any unwanted easing in conditions,” Dallas Federal Reserve President Lorie Logan said on Tuesday, as reported by Reuters.

Additional takeaways

“Even after pausing rate hikes, there is a need to remain flexible, tighten further if conditions call for it.”

“Need continued gradual rate hikes until we see convincing evidence of inflation falling to 2% in a sustainable, timely way.”

“Tightening policy too little is top risk.”

“Tightening too much or too fast risks weakening the labor market more than necessary.”

“Shouldn’t lock in a peak fed policy rate or precise rate path.”

“Has there been some progress on inflation, will need to see slower inflation in services.”

“Little sign of improvement in core services ex housing inflation; symptomatic of tight labor market.”

“Need better balance in labor market to bring inflation sustainably back to 2%.”

“US job market is incredibly strong; likely to need substantially slower wage growth to reduce inflation.”
