You’re inferring good faith, which - when dealing with humans - is an unsupported assumption. You don’t have to be an economist to draw the connection between printing money and a rise in nominal prices (irrespective of the interest rates and lending).

The Fed knows that there is no real ongoing inflation. The devaluation of the dollar already occurred and the new price has to propagate through the market. Their actions have no effect on the cause or broader course of apparent inflation only on who “wins and loses.”

>The Fed knows that there is no real ongoing inflation.

Can you cite any metric showing there is "no real ongoing inflation"? CPI, PPI, PCE, and other less-commonly used metrics all indicate ongoing inflation. It would be interesting to understand how you've arrived at the conclusion there isn't ongoing inflation.

The DXY has been uptrending for nearly a decade, even more rapidly so since mid-2021.
