Fed President Jeffrey LackerJeffrey Lacker, former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, joins CNBC's 'Squawk Box' to weigh in on the Fed's latest decision to raise its key interest rate by 50 basis points.
EARLY WARNING SIGNSAfter years of tame inflation, Fed officials and other central bankers say they have faced a chain of disruptive events beyond their control ranging from the COVID-19 pandemic to the Ukraine war. The central bank has made conservative estimates on inflation despite Russia cutting gas supplies to Europe in response to Western sanctions over its invasion of Ukraine. Even as some economists say an inflation peak could now be in sight, central bankers remain far from taming inflation.
