post: Fed’s Barkin: Inflation Data This Year “Disapppointing...Job is Not Yet Done” Barkin: Confident That Current Restrictive Level of Rates Can Curb Demand Enough to Bring Inflation to Target Barkin: Data “Whiplash” Confirms Value of Fed Being Deliberate post: FED'S BARKIN: I DON'T SEE THE ECONOMY OVERHEATING, BUT THE FED KNOWS HOW TO RESPOND IF IT DOES.Barkin: Navigating Data Whiplash Thank you for that kind introduction and for having me here today.

But early 2024 inflation data has been disappointing to those who thought that the inflation fight was behind us. In the last three months, quarter-over-quarter core PCE inflation rose to 3.7 percent annualized. Headline rose to 3.4 percent. That number, fortunately, is nowhere near the 7.1 percent headline inflation we saw in June 2022 but does remind us that the job is not yet done. Demand remains robust. While the headline first quarter GDP number came in lower at 1.6 percent, it was held down by the volatile cate
