Kashkari: Not Seeing Progress On Inflation Yet, Can't Repeat 1970s Mistake

FED
  • Kashkari ('23 voter) with a similar take to Bullard that “want to avoid mistake from 1970s when policy makers cut too soon – a mistake we cannot make this time.”
  • On policy stance: “The overall stance of policy right now is tight. Those real 5Y and 10Y real rates are substantially above where they were prior to the pandemic when close to neutral. Is it tight enough? I don’t know but we’re starting to tamp the brakes.”
