Logan said the labor market is coming into balance as growth strengthens, and that higher term premiums could help slow economic growth.
Dallas Fed’s Logan Calls for at Least 50bp Rate Hike, Says Policy Off Track
AI take
Logan's call for at least a 50bp hike, even as she acknowledges inflation is falling, frames the debate as one about the destination rather than the direction. Her argument that higher term premiums could do some of the tightening work is the more consequential thread: it suggests the policy rate may not need to rise as far if bond markets reprice. Whether other FOMC participants echo that framing, or treat it as cover for a larger hike, is the open question.
