Episode Details

Federal Reserve officials anticipate a temporary surge in inflation due to the Iran conflict, but expect no significant impact on economic growth. They plan to cut interest rates once in 2026, with inflation projected to reach 2.7% by year-end, unemployment remaining at 4.4%, and growth at 2.4%. Despite Powells optimism, Wall Street reacted negatively, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones dropping. Gas prices surged to $3.84 per gallon, but officials view this as a temporary supply shock. Powells term ends in May, and a Fed governor dissented, advocating for an immediate rate cut.
