Fed's Neel Kashkari says he has no strong view on an October rate hike and remains open-minded on the pace of tightening. His September projections called for one more hike in 2026 and another in 2027, but he warns the Fed may need to hike more if economic strength persists. Inflation expectations remain anchored near 2%.
