Atlanta Federal Reserve President Raphael Bostic tells WLRN he doesn’t think interest rates need to be increased right now, even as inflation remains high in some places — particularly South Florida.

Annual inflation cooled in January for the seventh month in a row. But price increases accelerated between December and January, fueled by rising shelter, food and gasoline prices.

They're dubbed inflation relief payments, but they reflect a hodgepodge of rules and eligibility requirements. The IRS wants time to figure out which rules apply to them.

The Federal Reserve raised interest rates by a quarter-percentage point as part of its ongoing effort to fight inflation. Price hikes have begun to ease, but the Fed says inflation is not yet tamed.

Annual inflation continued to ease, cooling to 6.5% in December, but prices are still climbing at a rapid rate, meaning people have to work longer and harder to keep the same standard of living.
