ChainCatcher reports that Saira Malik, from NewVenture Investments, stated in a research report that the broad impact of the U.S.-Iran attack remains to be seen. She believes that global markets may experience more volatility, and the far-reaching effects will become clearer over time. Although rising oil prices could boost inflation, Malik expects this will not affect the Federal Reserve’s policy in the short term. She maintains her forecast of two rate cuts by the Fed this year and believes the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield will fluctuate around 4%.
