The IMF's Gita Gopinath is weighing in on the US economy and inflation saying:
- it will be challenging to bring inflation back to Federal Reserve target without turbulence
- The relevant question is not whether inflation peaked, but whether it will stay significantly above the Fed's target for a long time

- There is a narrow path for US rates not to go up by much, but risk is the possibility of much a steeper rate increases
Not great news from IMF's Gopinath on US inflation going forward
