About this work
Financial conditions, business surveys and the relationship between employment and inflation offered mixed signals about the timing of Federal Reserve easing in February 2024. While much of the evidence suggested waiting until at least June, the analysis argued that normalizing inflation justified a more accommodative stance by May. These were competing assessments at that historical date.
