Rachel, there was this moment, you know, a year or so ago where it felt like the Fed was close to achieving that soft landing.
But now I don't know.
Look, things are looking pretty rough.
Do we think that 2 percent target is just a far off dream at this point?
Yeah, I mean, we're now coming on, what, five years of inflation being above the Fed's target.
And it's not for lack of trying to get there by any means.
But it is hard to envision a world where the Fed is able to keep cutting if inflation is, you know, A, moving in the wrong direction and B, just not making the kind of progress that they want to be seeing.
And so...
It doesn't mean that that kind of soft landing is impossible to achieve.
But here we are again talking about whether this kind of increase is a blip if it's going to start to seep through broader inflation as opposed to just staying more confined to oil markets.
And that basically leaves them in the same kind of conundrum that they've had for a long time about balancing the risks that can pile up in the labor market side and can pile up on the inflation side quite quickly.
Right.
Well, Sudeep, I mean, is there anything the Fed can do while they're looking at these numbers?
Like how much control do we think the Fed really has these days?
Well, let's talk more about the consumers.
So the consumer sentiment came out today.
Not so great at a record low.
Not a huge surprise there that people are feeling pessimistic.
At the same time, inflation expectations, they're creeping up.
Rachel, tell us what people are actually seeing out there that's shaping the mood right now.
