LPL Financial: The spread of inflationary pressures may keep interest rates high

LPL Financial Chief Economist Jeffrey Roach stated: "Inflationary pressure is spreading from the energy sector to broader parts of the economy, indicating that the final phase of inflation returning to the target level may still be challenging, and could keep interest rates elevated. The latest report makes the Federal Reserve's policy decision this month more complex, as the path to restoring price stability is becoming increasingly difficult."
