What happened
A New York Fed official stated that the Federal Reserve's monetary policy control remains effective, noting that reserves are ample and Treasury bill purchases are proceeding smoothly. Meanwhile, rising oil prices, driven by geopolitical tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, have pushed Brent crude up roughly 35% since February. These factors, combined with strong U.S. employment data, are strengthening expectations that the Federal Reserve may maintain a tighter interest-rate policy.
