 <p>Although the rate in the US has risen by 3.7% compared to last year, economist Paul Krugman has stated that the war on <a rel="dofollow" title="inflation" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/inflation.html">inflation</a> is “pretty much over.” Additionally, Krugman noted that the war was won without the arrival of a recession. Contrary to forecasts made by a host of notable analysts. </p> 
 <p>In a post made to X, formerly Twitter, Krugman discussed the <a rel="dofollow" title="inflation" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/inflation.html">inflation</a> fight in the United States. Moreover, he noted that there is still a chance for a recession. Subsequently, he stated that its presence would be due to policy that isn’t a clear necessity.</p>

 <p>The United States’ economic condition can certainly be categorized as fragile over the past year. Indeed, the Federal Reserve answered inflation figures with an interest rate hike campaign that lasted a year. Subsequently, that rate hike was paused in August, with the country waiting to see what the Fed does at its September meeting. </p>

 <p>Responding to Wednesday’s Consumer Price Index, economist Paul Krugman said that the war on inflation is “pretty much won.” Subsequently, he pointed out that it has concluded without a recession taking place. Something that certainly went against prediction. </p>

 <p>The perspective is one that was expressed by Krugman in a New York Times Piece. Then, he noted that data shows underlying inflation has been cut in half. Additionally, referencing “noisy data” from price estimation could show some economic setbacks. </p> 
 <p>That is likely what Krugman attributes to last month’s data. He noted in his post that core <a rel="dofollow" title="inflation" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/inflation.html">inflation</a> was “distorted by lags in the measured price of shelter.” Ultimately, Krugman has explored what is called the “Goldilocks” scenario. There, <a rel="dofollow" title="inflation" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/inflation.html">inflation</a> would fall without the presence of a recession. Additionally, there have been indicators in the data that further policy tightening wouldn’t be required for <a rel="dofollow" title="inflation" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/inflation.html">inflation</a> to continue falling.&nbsp;</p>

 <p>Yet, Fed Chair Jerome Powell has spoken on the contrary. In a recent statement, he noted that the Fed is prepared to continue raising interest rates. Citing the <a rel="dofollow" title="inflation" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/inflation.html">inflation</a> fight, Powell seemed to assure that those hikes are more of a certainty for the coming months.</p>
