Fed officials "want to the have conviction that inflation is going to keep grinding down," Laipply says. "There's a lot of debate about some of the recent inputs into the calculation, but nonetheless, they're trying to make it clear that they are going to keep watching the data roll in and there is a scenario here where I think they're comfortable with the labor market being strong as long as they continue to see inflation fall.
