The Times of India reported that Fed Vice Chair Philip Jefferson suggested the central bank may be patient before hiking rates again. In contrast, IBTimes cited Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari stating that inflation concerns remain, and that the central bank's preferred gauge, while cooler than expected, is still running at around a 3% rate. Kashkari indicated that recent data did not significantly alter his view on inflation. The Times of India also noted Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari expects additional rate increases will be needed going into 2027, though he is unsure about the timing of the next move. ## What the coverage left out None of the centre or right-rated reports mention the US sending a third aircraft carrier to the Middle East with 10,000 additional troops being deployed, a detail reported by IBTimes, which was rated centre. ## Who covered it Shares of the 9 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 0% (0) - Centre: 56% (5) - Right: 44% (4) 8 of 17 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.
