Perkins has previously examined how lingering seasonality in core CPI data since COVID may affect expectations for a September rate hike, as detailed in his recent analysis. He has also questioned strong market and Fed reactions to minor month-over-month inflation changes in an earlier report. These topics highlight continued debate over interpreting inflation and monetary policy signals.
