Fed's Williams: Impact of Middle East Conflict Will Boost Headline Inflation, But Have Little Effect on Core Inflation

BlockBeats News, April 7th, William Williams, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, stated that the impact of the Iran war will push up overall inflation. The Fed is very concerned about core inflation, and despite the Middle East conflict, the situation of core inflation has not changed much. This year's inflation rate is expected to be around 2.75%. Tariffs remain a significant part of the inflation story, but monetary policy is currently in a "wait-and-see" advantageous position.
