Fed Officials Push for More Rate Hikes as Logan Calls for Two Increases

Dallas Federal Reserve President Lorie Logan said on 30 October 2026 that the US central bank needs at least two further 25-basis-point interest-rate increases to bring inflation back towards its 2% target. St Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem separately said additional tightening would be necessary soon, while Richmond Fed President Tom Barkin also supported further increases. The comments followed the Fed’s 28 October decision to leave its benchmark range at 3.75%–4.00%. These remarks are individual policymakers’ assessments, not an announced FOMC decision to raise rates.

Intel Shares Plunge Nearly 29% After Weak Q4 Revenue Forecast

Intel shares dropped roughly 29% on 30 October 2026 after the chipmaker forecast fourth-quarter revenue of $15 billion to $16 billion, below analysts’ expectations of about $17.1 billion. Intel reported third-quarter revenue of approximately $16.5 billion and adjusted earnings of $0.52 per share, but warned that weaker personal-computer demand and high memory prices were pressuring its outlook. Reuters also reported that an October disruption at Intel’s Israeli factory was expected to reduce fourth-quarter revenue by around $300 million. The weak guidance contributed to a broader semiconductor-sector sell-off; price moves are historical observations from Friday, not live Saturday quotes.
