It's also possible that the inflationary effects could instead be more persistent.
voice-verified
Avoiding that outcome will depend on the size of the tariff effects, on how long it takes for them to pass through fully into prices, and ultimately on keeping longer term inflation expectations well anchored.
voice-verified
uh at this meeting.
voice-verified
So uh and those things are probably slow moving.
voice-verified
So I think I think if you look at what's happening here, since March, this is since March, right?
voice-verified
You see a little slower growth, just a tiny tick up, a one tenth tick up in in uh in unemployment, and you see inflation moving up three tenths.
voice-verified
And by the way, it was it was a similar move from the December m uh SEP to the fifth March.
voice-verified
So that's what you see.
voice-verified
You see the the the the effects of
voice-verified
Tariffs.
voice-verified
I think we learned in April after the March meeting that substantially higher tariffs were likely.
voice-verified
And then since then, the estimates of where the tariffs will be have actually moved back down, although still at an elevated level.
voice-verified
So we're adapting in real time.
voice-verified
And uh what you see is an you know a cu an accumulation of individual assessments.
voice-verified
In addition, we look at surveys of businesses and uh there there are many of those and and you you do see a range of things, uh but but many, many companies do expect to uh to to put all or s or some or all of the effective tariffs through to the next in next person in the in the chain and ultimately to the consumer.
voice-verified
Today, uh you know, the amount of these the the amount of the tariff effects, the size of the tariff effects, uh their duration and the time it will take are all highly uncertain.
voice-verified
So that that is why we think uh the appropriate thing to do is to hold where we are as we learn more, and we think our policy stance is is in a good place where we're well positioned to react to incoming developments.
voice-verified
Okay.
voice-verified
I from my standpoint it's it's not complicated.
voice-verified
What everyone on the FOMC wants is a good, solid American economy with strong labor market and infl and price stability.
