Middle East Conflict May Intensify Inflationary Pressures

With oil prices surging and shipping costs rising due to geopolitical conflicts, consumers may soon face higher prices for essentials. Despite current overall inflation being contained, analysts predict a rise in month-on-month inflation figures as companies anticipate further cost increases, which could pressure the Federal Reserve to reassess interest rates.
