The Fed now sees slightly higher economic growth, unemployment rising a little slower, and inflation running slightly higher through the remainder of 2023 based on their June projections versus their March projections. Inflation has come down the fastest over the last 12 month outside of a recession. Is the Fed continuing to fight the last war of inflation, as the potential of excess tightening working with a lag leading to a potentially deeper economic contraction?
