Prior to this year, the central bank hadn\u2019t increased its benchmark rate by more than a quarter-percentage point since 2000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Federal Reserve has their backs against the wall, because they didn\u2019t move sooner to control inflation, and now they will be forced to raise interest rates higher and at a quicker pace than they would like,\u201d said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer for Independent Advisor Alliance.<\/p>\n<p>Before the release of May inflation data, Moody\u2019s Analytics projected 33% odds of a recession later this year and 50% odds of a downturn in 2023. Both of those numbers are likely to increase based on the higher-than-expected CPI, according to Victor Calanog, the firm\u2019s head of commercial real estate economics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe risk of a recession has risen significantly over the last few months,\u201d Calanog told The Post.<\/p>\n<p>The 8.6% uptick in May was the largest rate of increase since December 1981. Gasoline prices are up by 48.7% year-over-year as the Russia-Ukraine war and shipment disruptions further upend the energy market, while food prices jumped more than 10%.<\/p>\n<p>The May CPI reading topped economists\u2019 expectations. Prices rose 1% compared to April.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the alarming trends, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen \u2013 who recently referred to inflation levels as \u201cunacceptable\u201d \u2013 argued this week that a recession was unlikely.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/grocerystore-24.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Grocery store\" class=\"wp-image-22609390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/grocerystore-24.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/grocerystore-24.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/grocerystore-24.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Food prices jumped by more than 10% in May.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Anadolu Agency via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019re (going to) have a recession.
