Fed's Evans: Will have a slightly higher peak rate even as we slow pace of hikes
|"We are probably going to have a slightly higher peak to Fed policy rate even as we slow pace of rate hikes," Chicago Fed President Charles Evans said on Friday, as reported by Reuters.
"We're on a path to getting financial conditions appropriately restrictive to bring inflation down to 2%," Evans noted and added that they are well-positioned to be evaluating some very clear improvements on inflation.
