Kashkari Sees 40% Probability Of Potentially Significantly Higher Rates

FED
  • Minneapolis Fed's Kashkari (’23 voter) has published an essay (see here) which shows his 2024 dot at 5.25-5.5%, 25bps above the FOMC median and one of four at this level.
  • There are two dots higher, one at 5.5-5.75% (unknown) and one at 6-6.25% (subsequent comments suggest Bowman).
  • He then converges to the 3.75-4% median for end-2025.
  • He sees a 60% probability of a soft landing scenario when the FOMC hikes potentially once more before holding, and a 40% probability of a "high-pressure equilibrium" that sees the FOMC needing to raise rates further, potentially going significantly higher to push inflation back down to our target.
