Overall, inflation is falling, but the rate of decline is not fast enough for the Fed’s liking.

The Fed is concerned that a prolonged period of high inflation will encourage workers to seek higher and higher salaries, making it more difficult to keep prices under control. For most businesses, labor costs are the most expensive. The Fed intends to hike interest rates further in order to slow the economy and relieve wage pressures, a strategy that is guaranteed to increase unemployment and potentially provoke a recession.
