Fed's Logan: Less need to hike rates if higher long-term rates are due to higher premiums
Continued restrictive financial conditions will be necessary to bring down inflation, Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan said on Monday, per Reuters.
"If long-term interest rates remain elevated because of higher term premiums, there may be less need to raise the fed funds rate," Logan added. "However, to the extent that strength in the economy is behind the increase in long-term interest rates, the FOMC may need to do more."
