Often a harbinger of recessions, the fact that short-term yields are higher than long-term is not inherently bad, Federal Reserve Gov. Chris Waller said Tuesday, noting that in this case it could prove that market expectations are anchored.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen acknowledged that a surprisingly robust economy has led investors to assume that the Federal Reserve would maintain high interest rates over a longer period, but said longer-term drags on the economy could upend that calculus.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said inflation relief from the housing sector is "in the pipeline" but some say strong underlying demand and an inadequate housing supply could disrupt future rate pauses or cuts.

In his highly anticipated speech in Jackson Hole, the Federal Reserve chair acknowledged the progress made in cooling down inflation, but said the central bank would not hesitate to raise rates further if needed.

Key data points have shown price and wage pressures continue to dissipate, which should bolster the case for an end to rate increases, but strong labor-market activity may keep policymakers uneasy.

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said he favored more monetary policy tightening to reduce persistently high inflation, although he said he was prepared to adjust his stance if needed if credit tightens more than expected.

Recent deposit flows raise questions about the Fed's support for these funds through its overnight lending facility, and whether that support is doing more harm than good.

The Cleveland Fed chief said she expects to make "some appreciable progress" toward taming price pressures in 2023, and estimates a closely watched gauge of inflation will reach 3.75% by the end of the year.

Cleveland Fed president says the central bank is still raising rates to a level that's high enough to bring inflation down to the target.
