  • Federal Reserve Highlights Inflation Risks as Stock Market Reacts Mildly
    March 22, 2026, 11:07 AM EDT. The Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee kept interest rates steady between 3.5% and 3.75% last week but raised inflation forecasts for 2026, signaling economic caution. Core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation outlook increased to 2.7%, with producer input costs jumping 3.4% annualized in February, exceeding expectations. Fed Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that future rate cuts depend on economic progress amid ongoing uncertainties, including Middle East conflicts. Despite these red flags, the stock market's broad sell-off was relatively muted, suggesting investors may be underestimating emerging risks. The cautious tone contrasts with recent weak job growth data, pointing to fragile economic conditions ahead.
