Analyst: Tariff Inflation May Continue to Feed Through to Economy in Coming Months, Fed Seen Cutting Rates Twice This Year
On February 14, Stephen Douglass of NISA Investment Advisors noted that roughly one-third of tariff-related inflation could still gradually pass through to the economy in the coming months.
