Higher inflation is on the way. The Fed needs to make this clear before it raises rates.

the fed needs to get ahead of rising inflation by making its next moves clear — including the possibility that rates go up, not down. the argument is that better communication would help investors manage risk before any actual rate hike happens. the piece doesn't name a specific fed official or cite a particular meeting. it focuses on the gap between what markets expect (presumably cuts) and what inflation data might force the fed to do. the core point: if the fed waits too long to signal a potential hike, the adjustment will be messier for everyone.
