Analyst: Conditions for a Federal Reserve rate hike are not yet mature, but reasons are accumulating

ChainCatcher news, according to Golden Ten Data, Federal Reserve officials have hinted that they may soon need to raise interest rates instead of cutting them, especially against the backdrop of rapidly rising inflation. Evercore ISI analyst Krishna Guha stated that while the decline in energy prices might bring some relief, the interest rate outlook has decoupled from oil prices, and there is still uncertainty about whether underlying inflation will cool off. Claudia Sahm, chief economist at New Century Advisors, pointed out that the conditions needed for the Federal Reserve to respond to supply-driven inflation have not yet emerged, but she acknowledged that the reasons for taking action are building up.
