February’s CPI delivered what the Federal Reserve had hoped for—but possibly too late. Inflation held at 2.4% YoY, while core CPI slowed to 0.2% MoM from 0.3% in January, signaling easing price pressures. However, the data reflects conditions before recent geopolitical shocks and the surge in oil prices. Meanwhile, the labor market is softening, with 58K jobs added vs 126K expected and unemployment rising to 4.4%. As the March 18 Fed meeting approaches, policymakers face a dilemma: cut rates based on cooling inflation, hold steady despite weakening jobs, or signal future easing while monitoring energy-driven risks.
