Federal Reserve (Fed) Bank of Minneapolis President Neel Kashkari flashed another policy warning sign on Wednesday, cautioning that tariffs are pushing the consumer-facing costs of goods higher, resulting in climbing inflation figures. Kashkari also cautioned that the US economy is pivoting harder into a "soft landing" scenario.
Kashkari avoided using the "stagflation" word, but rising inflation in an economic downturn could spark a sticky mess that the Fed lacks adequate policy tools to entirely avoid or solve quickly.
