Traders continue to monitor the impact of the Middle East conflict on inflation and monetary policy.
The US-Israel-Iran war entered its third week with the Islamic regime bombarding energy infrastructure in the regions. On the other hand, US President Donald Trump has warned Iran to hit their oil facilities in the Kharg island.
As per Trading Economics, the conflict has kept energy prices elevated, fueling concerns that sustained increases could further stoke inflation and reinforce a hawkish stance among central banks. The Federal Reserve is widely expected to hold rates steady this week, while other major central banks, including the ECB, BOE, and BOJ are also anticipated to maintain their current policy settings. Meanwhile, President Trump reiterated his call for help from other nations to secure the Strait of Hormuz, although some countries have declined to participate.
