Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Lorie Logan said she’s not yet convinced that inflation is trending down to the central bank’s 2% target, but higher long-term yields are giving officials more time to evaluate economic data.

“We’ve seen some welcome progress with respect to inflation, but it’s still too high,” Logan said Thursday during a moderated discussion organized by the Money Marketeers of New York University.
