MNI PODCAST: FedSpeak - Wright Sees Steady Inflation Decline

(MNI) WASHINGTON
  • U.S. inflation have turned decidedly lower and are likely to continue their downward path over the course of this year, St. Louis Fed economist Mark Wright said.
  • Wright says the Fed will pause after "a few" more rate hikes and then assess the situation; rate cuts not on the cards this year.
  • Wright is hopeful that the recent strength in jobs means the Fed can bring down inflation without a major hit to economic growth.
