Federal Reserve's Logan: Possibility of raising interest rates again should not be ruled out
On January 7th, Logan, a member of the Federal Reserve, warned that the Fed may need to resume raising short-term policy rates to prevent a recent decline in long-term bond yields from reigniting inflation. "If we do not maintain sufficiently tight financial conditions, we face the risk of inflation rebounding and reversing the progress we have made," Logan said. "Restrictive financial conditions have played an important role in keeping demand and supply in balance and maintaining stable inflation expectations," she said, noting that the inflation rate is close to the Fed's target of 2% and that the labor market, while still tight, is returning to balance. "If we do not maintain sufficiently strict financial conditions, we cannot expect to maintain price stability." (Jinshi)
