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 US Job Cuts Rise Sharply in January READ MORE Geopolitical Tensions, Not Interest Rates, Now Seen as Main Risk to U.S. Economy READ MORE Can I Buy & Sell Gold Without Paying Taxes?
