Dallas Fed President Urges Caution on Interest Rate Cuts

According to BlockBeats, on February 17, 2026, Lorie Logan, the President of the Dallas Federal Reserve and a voting member of the FOMC, advised policymakers to exercise caution in the coming months. She emphasized that a decline in inflation does not necessarily warrant further interest rate cuts. During a discussion held last Friday in California, Logan stated, "Even if we receive better data and it appears that inflation is indeed approaching 2%, I believe we should remain cautious. A strong labor market and overall robust economy do not automatically imply room for additional rate cuts."
