Fed’s Kashkari sees one more rate hike this year


Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank President, Neel Kashkari, said early Tuesday, “I am one of the fed policymakers who sees one more rate hike this year.“

Additional comments

Still more work to do on services inflation.

Fed can definitely get back to 2% inflation.

May need to cut rates if real rates are tightening.

US rates probably have to go a little bit higher, be held there for longer, to cool things off -- remarks made earlier on Monday and now posted on the Minneapolis Fed website.

Falling inflation next year might justify backing off Federal funds rate to stop if from getting tighter.

Balance sheet runoff will continue for the foreseeable future.

Effects of balance sheet runoff may not be fully felt yet.

If govt shutdown means we don't have access to usual data, we will supplement with the best private data that we can.

You always have to do your best with the best data available; i'm confident we'll be able to make decisions.

That the yield curve is un-inverting is not necessarily bad news, and it could be good news.

Market reaction

The US Dollar Index is seeing a fresh uptick on the above comments, currently trading at 106.01, modestly flat on the day.

The fall of Barnier’s government would be bad news for the French economy

This French political stand-off is just one more negative for the euro. With the eurozone economy facing the threat of tariffs in 2025 and the region lacking any prospect of cohesive fiscal support, the potential fall of the French government merely adds to views that the ECB will have to do the heavy lifting in 2025.
