monetary policy, inflation, Fed, rate hike, disinflation
Fed official warns of possible rate hikes if inflation stalls Collins emphasizes data-dependence but flags diminishing patience Statement adds pressure on markets anticipating imminent easing
Emphasizes external constraint (stubborn inflation) while minimizing internal agency (Fed's prior guidance, modeling assumptions, or communication credibility); avoids discussion of policy lag effects or distributional consequences.
Responsible stewardship under uncertainty
Fed official warns of possible rate hikes if inflation doesn’t improve.
Historical accuracy of Fed inflation forecasts; Divergence among FOMC participants on timing and magnitude; Impact of fiscal policy or supply-chain developments on inflation trajectory
Combines authoritative attribution (named Fed official), institutional credibility (WSJ sourcing), and cautious modality ('may need', 'without progress') to project inevitability without commitment. It makes the *possibility* of tightening feel larger and more urgent than the evidence warrants — since no data, timeline, or threshold is specified — creating momentum for market positioning while avoiding accountability for timing or outcome.
