Logan is a voting member of the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee this year.
Officials were still worried about inflation and flagged a still strong job market, while a minority of policymakers expressed interest in raising rates at the June meeting.
Logan also said that she doesn’t see anything tied to the Fed’s balance sheet drawdown affecting the Fed’s rate choices right now, and said the Treasury’s work to rebuild its cash account is unlikely to hit bank reserves, with the cash instead drawn from the Fed's reverse repo facility.
Logan said after her formal remarks that she was surprised markets expect a sooner end to the balance sheet drawdown than she bets is likely.
