- Upbeat but cautious comments from various Fed speakers on the day:
- Dallas Fed Logan: "While I believe it may soon be appropriate to slow the pace of rate increases so we can better assess how financial and economic conditions are evolving, I also believe a slower pace should not be taken to represent easier policy," she said in openings remarks at a Fed conference.
- Cleveland President Loretta Mester: “Despite the moves we have made so far, given that inflation has consistently proven to be more persistent than expected and there are significant costs of continued high inflation, I currently view the larger risks as coming from tightening too little."
