According to Odaily Planet Daily, Federal Reserve analyst Nick Timiraos analyzed the US inflation problem and pointed out that questions about residual seasonality still exist. Some people believe that the mild trend in the second half of 2023 is an outlier and inflation has not yet been curbed. Others believe that the hot data in the first quarter of 2024 is an outlier, interrupting a series of readings close to the inflation target that began last summer. Since April, inflation has been close to pre-epidemic levels. Except for March this year, the core inflation rate has been lower than the same period last year in every month.
