What happened

Well supportedReported by 54 independent outlets

The conflict in the Middle East, which involves Iran, continues to cause disruptions to global energy supplies. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that the United States must decide when the ongoing war should end, despite diplomatic efforts to halt the conflict. Meanwhile, the Bank of England noted that high energy prices, with the cost of a barrel of crude above $100 for much of the tracking period, make maintaining current monetary policy increasingly difficult.

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Geopolitical instability in the Middle East is a major driver of inflation and energy price hikes globally. This situation forces the Federal Reserve to manage global market expectations while the Bank of England grapples with the pressure of high energy costs on its own policy decisions.
