白宫经济顾问委员会主席费兰：民众不满主要是因为物价仍处于较高水平。

Fed's Williams said the labor market is unusually stable and robust.

BofA Securities warns further rises in crude and refined fuel prices over the next 3–6 months could push interest rates markedly higher. The U.S. two-year nominal swap is up 113bps year-to-date; on oil-rising days it has cumulatively gained 196bps and on other days lost 83bps. UK and German rates show larger swings. BofA says higher energy-driven inflation would reduce constraints on the Fed’s decision to hike, given resilient U.S. growth, consumption and a still-tight labor market.
