Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Lorie Logan calls for “modestly” higher interest rates, arguing that recent progress on inflation is not sufficient to end the fight against price pressures. In comments reported by multiple outlets, Logan says this week’s favorable inflation data does not indicate that inflation is on a sustainable path back to the Fed’s 2% target. She frames additional rate increases as a way to help balance the central bank’s dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability. Logan’s position emphasizes that inflation still appears too elevated to warrant a pause, and that further tightening—at a measured pace—could better align inflation outcomes with the Fed’s goal. The outlets describe her stance as supporting additional increases rather than a clear move toward cuts. No specific rate levels or policy timetable are cited in the provided summaries. Overall, the reporting highlights Logan’s view that modest additional rate hikes are needed to reinforce the return of inflation to target.
