Odaily reports that Bank of America analysts wrote that Trump's trade, fiscal and immigration policy agenda is expected to generate moderate inflation, and they predict that these changes will be reflected in inflation in the second half of 2025. They pointed out that any additional tariffs in the coming weeks could accelerate the timeline: "A key question is whether policy changes will affect long-term inflation expectations." They added that market-based inflation indicators remain within historical ranges. Bank of America reiterated its position that the Fed's rate cut cycle has ended, and inflation is "above target," and they expect both headline and core CPI to rise 0.3% month-over-month in January. They wrote: "If our forecast for January CPI is correct, the Fed's rationale for standing pat will be further reinforced." (Jinshi)
