Outcome

Partly right

October and November 2022 CPI (7.7% and 7.1% year over year) came in below consensus, so there were real downside surprises. But they were modest, January 2023 CPI came in hotter than expected, and PCE inflation stayed above 5%, nowhere near the "threes" she suggested. A weaker version happened, so partial is the cautious score.
