Federal Reserve Vice Chair Michelle Bowman warned on Friday that an extended energy shock from Middle East conflicts could force a shift toward tighter monetary policy in the United States. Energy prices are driving inflation well above the Fed's 2% target. If price pressures broaden beyond energy, rate hikes could return to the policy table.
