The Fed's thinking on omicron is clear that it will be inflationary. That's fair but it will be interesting how that develops if/when omicron hits China and snarls supply chains. That's inflationary at the outset and the knee-jerk from the Fed will be to hike more but I wonder of the knock-ons to growth and commodity prices were later cause a re-think.
