Re:U.S. annual inflation rate drops to 8.5% by chaorace on Wednesday August 10, 2022 @09:39AM (#32411735)
I suspect that everyone (Fed, consumers, government) will be relatively content to float around at 4% YoY CPI for the medium-term now that the "inflation overton window" (if you will) has shifted so much.

I can't imagine that policymakers are going to make precisely zeroing in on 2% their first priority given the current market anxiety... but that's ultimately a bridge that will have to be crossed when we collectively get there.
