Collin Martin suggests that Federal Reserve committee members are aware of high inflation and are looking for a reason to shift from holding rates to hiking them. He notes that some voters have dissented and non-voters like Jeffrey Schmid favor hikes, but the committee has not yet found a definitive reason to change policy.
“So, you know, we think that there's there's a handful of committee members that, you know, have voted to hold.”
“And they're probably, you know, they're very aware of how high inflation is. And I think they're looking for that reason to get off the hold seat and move to the hike seat.”
“We know there's a few, you know, there's voters who dissented. Uh, we know there's some non-voters who favor hikes right now like like Jeffrey Schmid.”
