[MacroPolicy Perspectives: US Inflation Fails to Subside as Expected, Raises 2027 Core Inflation Forecast] 1. Julia Coronado, founder of economic research and consulting firm MacroPolicy Perspectives, revealed that her company had previously expected inflation to decline significantly next year as the effects of tariffs and rising energy prices subsided. However, she stated, "These effects haven't faded at all." This is partly due to the war's prolonged duration, far exceeding previous forecasts that it would end before August. 2. Forecasters generally believed that if the war dragged on past August, the economic damage would be unbearable. Currently, the company is raising its forecast for core inflation in 2027. 3. Coronado also expressed concern about the situation early next year, when many businesses will readjust prices; she also worries about further price increases spreading. She said, "There are so many things going up in price right now that every business, every consumer, is thinking about inflation all the time."
