Inflation in the United States has risen to 2.7%, a rise that, although moderate, worries both economists and the Federal Reserve. Although this level is far from the peaks of 9% reached in 2022, it is still above the 2% target that the Fed considers ideal.
This rebound could reflect that the Fed's measures to control inflation, such as raising interest rates, are gradually working. However, persistent inflation above target could lead the Fed to maintain restrictive policies, which could cool the economy and reduce consumption.
At a global level, this situation is part of a broader trend of moderate inflation in various economies, which could have long-term effects on global economic growth. The behavior of inflation in the US will be key to understanding the direction of the US economy and its international repercussions.
