What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Bailey spoke at an Institute meeting about how the US-Iran war is influencing interest rate assessments. He stated that evidence of wider price pressures remains subdued, and businesses are currently focusing heavily on cutting costs rather than passing higher energy expenses onto customers. Bailey noted that policymakers require more time to determine if the initial energy price shock will translate into broader and more persistent inflation.
