Extended read

The Federal Reserve is prioritizing the 2% target over recent soft data. While the market celebrated the -0.3% PPI print, officials are concerned about persistent structural inflation. This creates a 'hawkish pause' environment where the bar for further easing is high, and the next move in 2026 could be upward.
