Dallas Fed President Advocates Strengthening Mechanisms to Control Market Rates

According to BlockBeats, Dallas Federal Reserve President Lorie Logan emphasized the need for the Federal Reserve to enhance mechanisms to more effectively prevent spikes in money market rates during periods of market stress. In her prepared remarks for the 2025 Atlanta Fed Financial Markets Conference, Logan reiterated the call to encourage more banks to utilize the discount window and to centralize the clearing of Standing Repo Facility (SRF) operations. Logan also highlighted the importance of focusing on broader market rates rather than solely the federal funds rate. "In my view, rate control is not just about keeping the federal funds rate within the target range," she stated.
