ФРС присматривается к Ирану // Осторожность регулятора растет вслед за мировой неопределенностью

Рост цен на энергоносители из-за конфликта на Ближнем Востоке подтолкнет инфляцию в США вверх, однако судить о масштабах проблемы пока рано, следует из заявлений ФРС по итогам прошедшего 17–18 марта заседания о размере ключевой ставки. Сохранив ее на прежнем уровне, свой макропрогноз регулятор при этом пересмотрел и теперь ждет, что в 2026 году инфляция в США составит уже 2,7%, а не 2,4%, как предполагалось ранее. Влияние военного конфликта на экономику Штатов названо «сдержанным»: деловая активность в стране продолжает расти. Далее аналитики по-прежнему закладывают одно снижение ставки в этом году: сроки возвращения ФРС к смягчению денежно-кредитной политики при этом во многом увязаны с ситуацией на американском рынке труда.

WHAT THIS MEANS

The US Federal Reserve has revised its inflation forecast upward to 2.7% for 2026 from 2.4%, citing potential pressures from rising energy prices due to Middle East conflicts, while keeping interest rates unchanged and signaling only one possible rate cut this year tied to labor market conditions. This cautious stance reflects growing global uncertainty, which could lead to increased market volatility without immediate drastic impacts, as business activity in the US remains strong. Overall, the news highlights the Fed's balanced approach but underscores risks from external factors that might delay monetary easing.
