Rising Middle East Tensions May Delay Fed Rate Cuts

Reported about 23 hours ago

The recent conflict between Israel and Iran could hinder the Federal Reserve's ability to implement interest rate cuts, as global oil prices surge and inflation concerns rise. Despite President Trump's calls for lower rates, Fed officials are cautious amid geopolitical instability and the potential impacts of his administration's policies on the economy. Currently, a strong U.S. labor market allows the Fed to take its time, but ongoing economic uncertainties could lead to a delay in any rate cut until late this year.
