What happened
The National Federation of Independent Business reported that small business uncertainty is growing, driven by high interest rates and inflation. Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, stated that high energy prices and the war in Iran are major issues causing businesses to become more pessimistic about the future. Inflation was reported as the single most important problem for 20 percent of owners.

Why it matters
The reports link geopolitical conflict and high energy costs to domestic business sentiment and inflation pressures. This suggests that external shocks are contributing to rising operational costs and uncertainty for small businesses in the United States.
The Center for Economic and Policy Research is tracking how the unresolved situation in Iran is driving up prices and impacting global energy supplies.
