UBS and AllianceBernstein analyze Iran war impact on inflation and energy prices
What happened
Inflation worsened in September, with prices increasing 3.7% from last year, up from 3.4% in August. The ongoing war in Iran is cited as the main cause of high energy prices. While some prices, such as beef and milk, have fallen, services inflation remains elevated, particularly in areas like hotel and air fares.

Why it matters
The analysis examines whether high energy costs are spreading throughout the economy. While services inflation is persistent, one director at AllianceBernstein noted that the knock-on effects from oil into other prices have been limited, suggesting a mixed inflationary picture.
