What happened
Three Federal Reserve officials called for further interest rate increases to combat persistent inflation. St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem stated that additional monetary policy tightening would be necessary soon. Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan argued that current inflation levels are unacceptable and that the Federal Open Market Committee needs at least two more 25-basis-point rate increases.

Why it matters
The comments signal that U.S. central bankers maintain a hawkish stance against inflation, despite the Federal Reserve leaving borrowing costs unchanged earlier this week. Musalem, who does not vote on the Federal Open Market Committee, reinforced the view that rate increases are still required.
