Most US central bankers viewed inflation as stable, but some are becoming more vocal about fears the Covid-19 pandemic will push prices higher, according to minutes of last month's Federal Reserve meeting released on Wednesday.
Fed officials also expressed concern the pandemic was constraining the American labor force,
The policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) took no major action at the March 16-17 meeting, keeping its benchmark lending rate at zero to help the economy recover from the business disruptions and mass layoffs caused by Covid-19.
While warning the recovery was incomplete, Fed Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged the rebound has been faster than expected thanks to relief measures approved by Congress, including the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan enacted last month.
However, the massive spending has raised fears inflation will increase as the world's largest economy reopens, which sparked a selloff in bonds and some rocky trading sessions on Wall Street.
The FOMC meeting minutes showed most central bankers saw inflation as under control, with the risks "broadly balanced," but there was a split on the fear prices could spike
"Several remarked that supply disruptions and strong demand could push up price inflation more than anticipated,"the minutes said.
But "Several participants commented that the factors that had contributed to low inflation during the previous expansion could again exert more downward pressure on inflation than expected."
Meanwhile, despite the strengthening recovery, FOMC members warned that "the path ahead remained highly uncertain, with the pandemic continuing to pose considerable risks to the outlook."
In particular, they raised concerns about the labor force participation rate, a measure of the economy's active workforce, that in February was at 61.4 percent.
Though it has recovered from the lowest point of the pandemic, it is near levels not seen since the mid-1970s.
Some committee members worried "labor force participation continued to be held down by workers' health concerns and additional childcare responsibilities associated with virtual schooling," and would not improve until those are addressed.
In the March employment data released last week, the labor force participation rate posted a miniscule increase to 61.5 percent compared to 63.4 percent in January 2020.
NIST Graded Our Post-Quantum Cryptography. Zero Failures.
NIST's Algorithm Validation Test System generated test vectors nobody had seen, we answered them over the ACVP protocol, and NIST graded the result: 2,130 cases across ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA in every parameter set offered, zero failures, demo certificate A11025. This is what that proves, where we deliberately drew the claim narrower than NIST's own matrix, and why the FIPS 140-2 sunset on 21 September makes the distinction between being graded and grading yourself worth understanding.
The Problem Is Not the Problem
People treat the Jack Sparrow line as a joke. The attribution is a joke. The sentence is not. Forty years in markets says the same thing Epictetus said in 125 CE and Robert Merton named in 1948: the event is finite, and the story you appoint to govern it is not. This essay walks the quote back to its actual sources, draws the loop that turns a feeling into an order, and sets out the four places a rule written in advance cuts the loop. Faith is not a hedge. It is a stance.
What KXCO Is, and Why the Hard Problem Was Never Intelligence
The prevailing enthusiasm assumes the hard problem is intelligence. It is not. It is that banks, hospitals, courts and governments are being asked to let software act on their behalf with no way to establish who decided, on what basis, or whether the record will still read in a decade. KXCO founder Shayne Heffernan sets out the architecture that answers those questions, drawn as a graph, and argues that properly constructed AI is an amplifier of human judgement rather than a replacement for it.
