ME News reports that on September 10 (UTC+8), Federal Reserve officials have signaled they are prepared to raise interest rates if inflation does not improve soon. However, they may find that their primary policy tool has limited effectiveness against some of the current factors driving price increases. According to futures contracts, investors currently estimate a roughly 60% probability of a rate hike at the Fed’s meeting on September 15–16. Stephanie Roth, Chief Economist at Wolfe Research, stated, “The key factors pushing inflation above trend levels are the Iran conflict, tariffs, and chip shortages. Even if the Fed raises rates one or two times, it is unlikely to fundamentally alter this backdrop.” (Source: ODAILY)
