  San Francisco Federal Reserve President Mary Daly on Wednesday said it's unlikely inflation will fall to 2% this year, but she does expect it to start dropping and to be at the Fed's 2% goal in five years.

  “There's just too many supply chain bottlenecks, we're already through the first quarter, China's got COVID we've got the war in Ukraine, so I don't think we are going to get 2 this year, but I do think we are going to start coming down,” Daly said after a speech at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas.

  Asked about a New York Fed survey that showed households expect inflation to be at 3.7% in three years' time, she said, “My own view is that we would do policy adjustments so that five years from now we are more on 2% not on something north of 3 (%).” Please download WikiFX for more forex news.
