BlockBeats News, August 20th, Hermès Investment Management Fixed Income Strategist and Portfolio Manager Karen Mana stated in a report that US inflation remains the policymakers' key concern.

Fed officials have maintained significant consistency on this information. Policymakers have also repeatedly stated that the current US labor market is no longer seen as the primary source of inflationary pressure. Instead, the employment situation is increasingly seen as closer to balance. The result is that the policy framework has shifted from labor market concerns to inflation as the primary variable.
