Fed’s Bowman Says Too Soon to Judge Iran War Inflation Impact

Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman said, “I would like to have more clarity on the economic impacts from the conflict in the Middle East and the durability of those effects,” and thinks it’s too soon to judge the inflationary impact from the Iran war.

Bowman said Friday at a central banking conference in Iceland that that policymakers need to look through temporary price shocks. (Source: Bloomberg)
