Import prices climbed again last month, and with April shaping up much the same, there’s talk the Fed could pause on rate cuts—or even lean toward tightening—if these price gains keep sticking around. Traders have already walked back expectations for Fed easing as energy costs work their way into everything from transportation to housing and everyday consumer items.
