What happened

Well supportedReported by 14 independent outlets

The war in Iran continues to drive inflation higher, contributing to a difficult fiscal landscape globally. The conflict is cited as pushing up global borrowing costs and has been estimated to cost the US alone around $38 billion. The Trump administration has proposed that economic growth is the primary solution to the current high inflation and massive national debt.

This situation tests the limits of the Federal Reserve's mandate regarding price stability. The market is highly sensitive to these factors, particularly concerning potential interest rate policy shifts.
