May 30 (Reuters) – Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Lorie Logan said on Thursday she believes inflation is still heading to the Fed’s 2% target, although she can imagine “other paths” that the Fed ought to be prepared for, and it is too early to consider cutting interest rates.
“I think there’s good reasons to think that we’re headed to 2% – we’re still on that path, perhaps a bit slower and a little bit bumpier than maybe many thought at the beginning of the year,” Logan said at an event in El Paso, Texas.
“But there’s a lot of uncertainty about that path. And I can imagine other paths that we need to be prepared for. And I continue to be concerned with upside risks around inflation.”
