BlockBeats News, August 6th, Yardeni Research, an independent Wall Street investment research firm, stated that the Federal Reserve should take a more hawkish policy stance as the current inflation risk outweighs concerns about economic slowdown.

The firm pointed out that U.S. consumer spending grew by 3.3%, business investment by 8.4%, and AI-driven capital expenditure continues to expand, indicating that the economy remains strong with no clear signs of needing a significant easing of monetary policy.

Market pricing is gradually moving closer to the hawkish stance of Federal Reserve officials. With inflation remaining sticky and service prices staying elevated, this also supports the Fed taking a more tightening policy stance.
