While it is possible that a rate hike may be skipped during an upcoming meeting, the inclination is towards implementing a hike in the near future, particularly based on incoming inflation data.The Governor also pointed out concerns regarding the tight labor market, which continues to outperform expectations by adding more jobs than anticipated.
