Diane Swonk: Fed minutes show growing concern over inflation risk
Fed minutes highlight inflation concerns

Diane Swonk highlights that hawkish sentiment increased at the April Federal Reserve meeting.

The newly released minutes from the April FOMC indicate a rising number of participants are focused on inflation and the possibility of a rate hike, though the committee remains divided on the issue.

Swonk previously agreed with Pimco that a potential conflict involving Iran could drive the Federal Reserve to raise rates, as outlined in her analysis of geopolitical risks. She also noted that October CPI data were compromised by the recent U.S. government shutdown, with an upcoming release set to include important adjustments to home ownership measures, according to her earlier commentary on inflation data. These themes have remained central in her recent observations on Federal Reserve policy.
