SvmuuNews, Federal Reserve's Logan stated that Fed officials may need to raise interest rates later this year to bring inflation down to the 2% target level. She noted that the U.S. labor market is "largely in balance," investment in the AI sector is booming, and financial conditions remain "loose." However, she added that the current inflation trend does not appear to be heading back towards the Fed's 2% target. "These conditions suggest that current monetary policy is not exerting a restraining effect on the economy," "I am increasingly concerned that, in order to fully restore price stability and appropriately balance both aspects of the Fed's 'dual mandate,' interest rate hikes may be necessary later this year."
