Federal Reserve officials warned on Wednesday that the ongoing conflict involving the United States and Iran is fueling inflation concerns. Rising energy costs and renewed supply chain disruptions have pushed price pressures well above the central bank's 2% target. For investors, this shift signals that interest rates will likely remain at 3.50%-3.75% for an extended period, with the potential for further hikes.
