Fed's Kashkari: Not seeing evidence yet that long-run inflation expectations are rising

In an interview with CNBC on Friday, Federal Reserve (Fed) Bank of Minneapolis President Neel Kashkari said that their job is to make sure that inflation expectations don't rise, per Reuters.

Key takeaways

"Not seeing evidence yet that long-run inflation expectations are rising."

"Investors may believe that if trade deficit is going to come down, US may not be as attractive an investment."

"There may be credibility to the story of investor preferences shifting."

"I think we're quite a ways away from market conditions we saw in pandemic."

"Ultimately we have the ability to manage some of these transitions, can smooth out dislocations."

"We cannot determine where yields ultimately settle, only can smooth the transition."

"There was a lot of good news under the hood in CPI."

"The effect of tariffs suggest inflation will be going back up again, our job to ensure it doesn't turn to long-term inflation."

"If we hadn't had 4 years of high inflation, I'd be more comfortable taking a look-through approach."

"With inflation still elevated, it makes me nervous about taking that one-time look-through approach on tariffs' effect on inflation."
