Guan Tao believes that the current USA is in the later stage of high inflation returning to trend values, and the intensity of the Trump 2.0 economic and trade friction has already exceeded that of Trump 1.0, which will increase the stickiness of inflation and even raise the risk of a secondary inflation. The policy space for the Federal Reserve is likely to be limited.
