Fed's Barkin (2027 voter) says it may take until April for inflation data to be fully caught up.

What it means

Fed's Barkin's comments suggest the central bank remains cautious about inflation tracking, potentially delaying any policy shifts until at least April. This indicates a continued dovish tone, impacting market expectations for interest rate adjustments, and could exert pressure on the USD in the near term as traders reassess the timing of any tightening measures.
