"Federal Reserve mouthpiece": Concerns about the slowdown in inflation progress stem from three intertwined factors

MarsBitNews · 2026-04-09T00:19:30+00:00

Mars Finance News, on April 9th, "Fed whisperer" Nick Timiraos stated that the Federal Reserve meeting minutes show that "the vast majority" of officials believe that the pace of inflation easing may be slower than expected. This is mainly due to three interconnected concerns: the potential longer-lasting impact of tariffs on commodity prices; the transmission effect of oil prices on core inflation; and years of inflation rates above the target level, making inflation expectations more susceptible to new shocks.

Mars Finance news: On April 9, Federal Reserve “transmission” Nick Timiraos said that the Federal Reserve meeting minutes show that “the vast majority” of officials believe the pace of easing inflation could be slower than expected, mainly due to three intertwined concerns: the impact of tariffs on goods prices may take longer to fade; the transmission effect of oil prices on core inflation; and the fact that inflation rates have been above the target level for many years, making inflation expectations more vulnerable to being hit by a new round of shocks.
