According to Jin Ten, Lawrence Werther, Chief Economist at Daiwa Capital Markets America, stated that the CPI report showing a slowdown in inflation for January and this week's better-than-expected employment data provide ample justification for the Federal Reserve to maintain interest rates at the March policy meeting. The year-on-year growth rates for overall and core inflation in January were 2.4% and 2.5%, respectively, reaching the minimum threshold for maintaining a patient policy. Additionally, core services inflation jumped 0.6% month-on-month, which may attract the attention of regional Federal Reserve presidents.

According to Jin Ten, Stephen Douglass of NISA Investment Advisors stated that about one-third of the inflation related to tariffs may still gradually transmit to the economy in the coming months. He expects that commodity inflation will fall below zero in the second half of the year, creating room for the Federal Reserve to resume rate cuts later than the market expects, with anticipated cuts in September and December.

According to Jinshi reports, State Street's Head of Macro Strategy Michael Metcalfe commented on the U.S. CPI data, stating that the anti-inflation trend continues, further confirming our view that we have passed the peak of inflation concerns. This paints a picture of a continuously improving inflation outlook, paving the way for interest rate cuts later this year.

According to Jin Shi reports, Seema Shah, Chief Global Strategist at Principal Asset Management, stated that the current situation is still not sufficient to justify a recent rate cut. The continued strength of the labor market provides policymakers with a reason to keep interest rates unchanged, and further easing of inflation in the second half of the year may reopen the door to accommodative policies.

According to Jinshi reports, Pacific Investment Management Company economist Tiffany Wilding stated that the inflation report "looks quite encouraging on the surface," with two main positive developments. First, housing prices, which have been rising since the outbreak of the pandemic, are now indeed slowing down. Second, the impacts related to tariffs are gradually fading. As this trend dissipates, the Federal Reserve should be more willing to cut interest rates, and Wilding believes that it is reasonable to expect two more rate cuts this year.
