What happened
Austan Goolsbee, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, stated that recent consumer-level inflation data was "discouraging" due to higher-than-expected price pressures. He noted that services inflation shows little sign of improvement. Goolsbee emphasized that the Federal Reserve cannot allow high price pressures to persist and affirmed the central bank will return inflation to its 2% target.

Why it matters
Goolsbee warned that if inflation pressures remain elevated, there is no ambiguity about how the central bank must respond. The Federal Reserve recently raised its interest rate target and plans another increase by the end of the year. This commentary reinforces the central bank's commitment to preventing demand-side overheating.
Since September 1st, Austan Goolsbee has commented on central bank policy, Donald Trump has discussed US-Iran issues, and Alberto Musalem has commented on central bank inflation goals.
