Economist: Rate hike a reassuring sign Fed is independent

Season 2026 Episode 190 | 6m 54s

It comes as the war in Iran continues to put pressure on prices and is the first major move by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh to combat elevated inflation. Geoff Bennett discussed more with economist Julia Coronado of MacroPolicy Perspectives.
