White House: CPI Shows We're Making Progress to 'Softish Landing' -- Inflation Easing as Monthly Increases in Inflation Are 'Stable'

On Tuesday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Jose Diaz-Balart Reports," White House Council of Economic Advisers Chair Cecilia Rouse stated that the January CPI report shows "an economy where we see inflation continuing to ease with a labor market that remains robust" because the month-to-month increases "were at expectations. They were stable. So, it was the same month-on-month increase in terms of core inflation." And stated that "we're making the progress we need to see in order to achieve the softish landing where inflation comes down and the labor market remains robust."
