Everyday Economics: Oil Is Taxing the Economy, Fed Urged to Wait
Original: Everyday Economics: Oil Is taxing the economy. The Fed should Be patient.
A commentary column argues that elevated oil prices are acting like a tax on the US economy, squeezing households and businesses, and warns that the Federal Reserve should remain patient rather than move hastily on interest rates while energy costs are still rippling through inflation and growth data.
Why now: Rising oil prices are renewing debate over inflation and how soon the Fed can adjust interest rates.
