The Fed finds itself in a structural impasse. It can't cut rates because core PCE inflation is stuck at 4.3%, but it can't raise them either, as this would undermine a GDP that's already fallen to 1.6%. US rates will remain "higher for longer" (around 4%).

That's why it makes such an interesting case at this moment. You're pretty much handcuffed on what you can do and have limited tools to truly combat this. On top of external pressures like the Iranian war and things of that nature just making inflation a harder beast to tame at this point.

I truly can't wait to see what comes out of this though.
