At the last Fed meeting, three regional bank presidents pushed for a surprise rate hike, citing stubborn inflation, while others favored holding steady. Since then, inflation data has been mixed—consumer prices cooled but wholesale prices didn’t follow suit. The Fed minutes signal more hikes may be coming if inflation doesn’t continue falling. Economic strength is seen as fueling bond yields and market expectations for future hikes. AI’s impact on inflation remains debated, with some seeing localized tech price effects and others spotting broader demand boosts. Plus, there’s talk of cutting annual Fed meetings from eight to six to allow for deeper analysis—though no vote has been taken yet.
