Fed's Logan is 'cautiously optimistic' inflation will continue to wane 
Mar 11, 2026 4:59 AM

NEW YORK, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Lorie Logan said ​Friday that monetary policy ‌is "well positioned" to deal with the ⁠risks facing the economy, as ⁠she continues to have ‌worries ‌that inflation will not retreat to the ​Fed's 2% target ‌quickly enough.

Logan said she was "cautiously optimistic" that given ​where monetary ​policy ‌stands "we're on a path" for inflation to come back down toward our ⁠target.

But she added at ⁠an event at Columbia University that "I'm not fully convinced that we're on a pathway ⁠to ‌our 2% target, and ‌when I look at overall ⁠how the economy is evolving, of course, the tariffs are still working their way through the system." She added that the ​Supreme Court tariff decision adds new uncertainty for the outlook ​for these ‌import taxes.
