The challenge for the Fed is to balance its goals of promoting maximum employment and stable prices. Should the Fed be perceived as being too slow, it will run the risk of runaway inflationary expectations becoming embedded into the economy. Alternatively, should the Fed be seen as draining liquidity too quickly, it will risk tipping the economy into recession.

The war in Ukraine, surging inflation, and rising interest rates led markets lower in the first quarter. While US equities saw its first quarterly loss in two years, bonds had its worst quarter in 20 years.
