Energy price shock to raise inflation gradually while weighing on growth, Fed’s Williams says

Some takeaways from this article :

Energy prices are likely to push inflation higher over the next few months but the impact on the broader economy should take time to show up.

Higher energy costs could start weighing on the consumer spending and growth if they persist ; the Fed seems to think policy is in a decent place for now but there are risks on both sides and it looks like a fairly classic supply shock : inflation picks up while growth softens which makes the policy response less straightforward.
