Speech by the representative of the Federal Reserve, Neel Kashkari, did not put serious pressure on the market, even though he spoke about the need for a slower increase in interest rates in the future.
As the representative of the Federal Reserve said, further increases in rates threaten to reverse the yield curve, and, in his opinion, there is almost no reason for a significant increase in rates. Kashkari also sees no signs of overheating of the economy, as monetary policy is already close to neutral. According to the representative of the Fed, it can always react quickly in case of a sharp increase in inflation.
