" that inflation will continue to pose an issue for the Fed. "There are some signs that can be grasped of declining inflation, but it is very gradual. I think the committee still has a big challenge, particularly with a 2% target," Lockhart said, referring to the Fed's stated goal of bringing inflation back down to a target range of 2% over the longer term.

This upcoming week will include the latest read on the annual and monthly inflation trend with the May consumer price index report due on Tuesday, the first day of the Fed's two-day FOMC meeting.
