That’s what “taming inflation” means. It means cooling off the economy, which means that businesses which would otherwise be viable fail, reducing demand, reducing upward pressure on prices.
To the extent that unexpected banking issues accelerate this, within a fairly wide band, from a monetary policy perspective that just means the Fed can back off the brake pedal a little sooner.
