Why it matters
The forecasts link elevated energy prices to concerns over inflation. The Bank of England is concerned about inflation and is scheduled to announce its monetary policy decision on November 5. Goldman Sachs noted that the current inflation environment differs from previous shocks, as the US Federal Reserve and European Central Bank have already increased interest rates.
