  • Evidence so far suggests only a modest gradual tightening of credit conditions due to recent banking stress.
  • Core services inflation excluding residential real estate is stubbornly high
  • Demand has clearly begun to feel the effects of the increases.
  • 1 year is too short to feel the effects of policy.
  •  Inflation is too high, and progress is slowing.
  • I'm going to consider the uncertainty of credit tightening.
  • It's hard to say how much bank stress will reduce lending.

Logan Fed

  • I remain concerned about whether inflation is falling fast enough.
  • The Fed has not yet made the progress on inflation that we need.
  • Inflation is too high and restoring price stability is critical.
  • Evidence in the coming weeks may continue to indicate that skipping the meeting is acceptable. However, we are not there yet at the moment.
  • Data so far do not justify skipping a rate hike in June.
  • Data at the moment do not support a delay in rate hikes.
