Sept 25 (Reuters) - ‌Federal ​Reserve ​Bank of Cleveland President Beth Hammack ‌said on Friday that surging ⁠bond yields are not ‌being pushed up ‌by inflation fears.

When it comes to the jump ​in government bond yields, “it’s real rates that ⁠have moved up more than the ​inflation expectations,” Hammack said at a conference at ​her bank.

“We're reasonably ‌well anchored from an inflation expectations ⁠perspective” and rising bond yields reflect a solid ⁠economic outlook, competition for investor ​cash due to strong tech sector investment, as well as ‌market participants adjusting prices to deal with ‌the monetary policy ⁠outlook, the ‌official said.
