Moody's Chief Warns Federal Reserve May Raise Rates as U.S. Inflation Expectations Surge Amid Iran Conflict

According to Moody's chief economist Mark Zandi, U.S. inflation expectations have surged significantly amid the Iran conflict. Zandi warned that if inflation expectations continue to climb, the Federal Reserve may be forced to raise rates despite the risk of triggering a broader economic recession, as policymakers would prioritize controlling inflation. The warning comes as the Fed, under new Chair Kevin Walsh, faces challenges in supporting economic growth and employment through interest rate cuts.
