    IMF urges Fed caution on inflation as Warsh prepares to chair first policy meeting

    The International Monetary Fund on Thursday urged the Federal ​Reserve in its first policy ‌meeting led by new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh to stay cautious on rates ​due to persistent upside inflation ​risks from energy price shocks and ⁠increasing pass-through of higher tariff ​costs.
    IMF spokesperson Julie Kozack told a ​regular press briefing that the Fund now forecasts that a return of inflation to ​the Fed's 2% target will ​be delayed to the end of 2027, compared ‌with ⁠its previous forecast of mid-2027 for reaching that goal.
