The Fed chair just dropped some interesting thoughts on where inflation might be headed. According to his latest take, the labor market probably won't heat up enough to spark another inflation wave—that ship seems to have sailed. But here's the catch: tariffs could be a different beast entirely. There's a real chance that tariff-induced price hikes stick around longer than anyone wants. For those watching macro trends in risk assets, this matters. Persistent inflation from trade policy could mean the central bank keeps rates elevated, which historically puts pressure on speculative markets. Worth keeping on your radar.

Tariffs are the real trap... Labor costs are no longer an issue, but the inflation stickiness caused by trade policies can hold you back for a year, and the path of central bank rate cuts is still far away.

The keywords are here: tariffs and inflation matter more than labor inflation in risk asset management, and the probability of the Federal Reserve holding steady is rising sharply.

Tariffs seem to be more aggressive than labor cost increases; they can truly stall prices.

The key is the tariffs part; that is the real ticking time bomb...

The key issue is tariffs; it's really easy for prices to stay high in the long run.

Be careful with tariffs; you really need to keep an eye on them, or it might actually crash the market.
