  "account": "Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Lorie Logan has stated that the central bank will need to raise short-term borrowing costs by an additional 50 basis points or more to achieve a modestly restrictive monetary policy and bring inflation back on track to the 2% target. The recent increase in long-term yields may signal market expectations of higher interest rates. Logan emphasized that the current monetary policy is not yet restrictive, and further tightening is necessary despite economic expansion and a balanced labor market. She highlighted the role of higher yields in potentially reducing the need for additional rate hikes, but reiterated that at least a few more rate increases would be required to reverse last fall's reductions and reach the Fed's 2% inflation target. The US Dollar Index (DXY) gained 0.52% on the day at 102.00, reflecting a more hawkish stance from the Fed. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will monitor bond yield changes and evaluate their impact on inflation and monetary policy decisions.",
  "summary": "Federal Reserve (Fed) Bank of Dallas President Lorie Logan said on Thursday that the central bank will need to raise short-term borrowing costs by at least another half of a percentage point to turn monetary policy \"modestly restrictive\" and get inflation back on track to the target.",
