Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari said he now expects one interest-rate increase this year, citing persistent inflation pressures that are weighing on the economy. He framed the shift as a response to spiking prices and incoming data rather than a change in longer-run policy goals.

His comments tie into broader concerns about recent inflation readings and the FOMC’s data-dependent stance.
