According to Block Beats, St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard indicated that recent inflation rates may exceed expectations, while economic growth may be below expectations. These scenarios present challenges for monetary policy due to potential tensions between the dual mandates. If inflation expectations begin to rise, the Federal Reserve may need to focus more on its inflation targets.

Stagflation is a more extreme scenario that the United States may face in the coming months. Bullard does not see an imminent economic recession and expects the inflation rate to drop to 2% by 2027.
