The Fed is really feeling the heat these days.

While inflation is starting to come down, it’s still far too high, with February CPI coming in this week at 6.0%.

Yet at the same time, the swift & sharp increase in interest rates the Fed has engineered is now starting to result in casualties, such as the banking failures that have happened over the past week.

A big enough breakage in the system could force the Fed to change course.

How is the Fed navigating the increasingly tight spot it’s in?
