Consumer prices rose 2.8% from a year earlier, data revealed. It's a deceleration from January, but doesn't appear to be enough to warrant an immediate interest rate cut.
The article from Fortune, published on March 12, 2025, discusses the current state of inflation in the U.S., which has shown signs of cooling down. Despite this positive development, there are concerns about potential risks that could reignite inflationary pressures. Key among these risks are the possibility of new tariffs and trade policies, particularly if former President Donald Trump were to return to office. Trump's previous administration was known for imposing tariffs on various goods, which could disrupt global trade and increase costs for consumers. Additionally, the Federal Reserve's actions are under scrutiny, as its decisions on interest rates could either help maintain the current cooling trend or inadvertently stoke inflation if not managed carefully. The article emphasizes the delicate balance policymakers must strike to ensure sustained economic stability.
