Fed's Barkin said rising U.S. public debt will ultimately face "liquidation", though the timing is unpredictable. Asked about debt exceeding $40 trillion, he said the government can keep borrowing while investors keep buying Treasuries, but warned investors could begin to balk. He cited the dollar's global role and U.S. rule of law as current supports for demand, but said the risk is that purchasers eventually stop. Barkin reiterated that, given evidence of falling inflation, rates should be held steady, while acknowledging policymakers may need to raise rates if price pressures become entrenched.
