Moderate Inflation Easing Keeps Fed's Interest Rate Cuts on Hold The slow pace of inflation decline in the US last month, paired with a rebound in retail sales, suggests the Federal Reserve may maintain its current stance on interest rates without immediate cuts. The core consumer price index (CPI), which provides a clearer view of underlying inflation by excluding volatile items like food and fuel, is expected to have increased by 0.3% in February, following a 0.4% rise at the beginning of the year. This measured retreat in inflation and positive retail activity highlight the reasons behind the Fed’s cautious approach to altering interest rates. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts WGC: Gold Market Commentary: Higher-for-longer: Inflation not growth READ MORE Stocks End Mixed as Powell Signals Delayed Rate Cuts READ MORE Inflation Eases to 2.5%, but Core Prices Remain Sticky READ MORE Gold Demand Dips as Wedding Season Begins, Diamond and Gemstone Sales Rise READ MORE Yuan Undercuts Dollar: A Shift in Global Currency Dynamics READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
