The Federal Reserve's latest Monetary Policy Report to Congress, released on Friday, said U.S. inflation is somewhat elevated and the labor market is in solid shape, but suggested that President Donald Trump's tariffs have likely only begun to be felt and repeated the central bank's view that it can wait for more clarity before taking action.

But in the price-tracking data, the evidence is much more uneven. April’s inflation reports — measuring consumer and producer prices — showed the early imprint of tariffs. Goods most exposed to the levies, like furniture and audio equipment, became more expensive.

The Fed is holding firm on interest rates as it waits to see the impact of Trump's tariffs. However, some people are already feeling them.
