Fed officials through much of their battle with a pandemic-driven breakout of inflation said they thought it would take a period of below-trend growth to really bring price pressures into line, and the 1.6% rate of expansion registered in the first quarter met that mark after a period above the central bank's median 1.8% estimate of noninflationary potential. But prices have remained sticky, with the personal consumption expenditures price index over the first quarter rising at a 3.4% annual rate versus the Fed's 2% target.
