But I'm sure they'll say they will respond to the data, and I suspect the inflation data will not quickly show prices easing, so I'm not expecting a major shift in their guidance.

That said, they should certainly mention the rapidly contracting gdp and merely noting that this has captured their attention could be enough to change interest rate expectations.

I certainly think "higher for longer" is dead.
