OECD flags energy shock as driver of higher US inflation
TL;DR
The OECD warns that ongoing Middle East conflict and a sustained energy shock could lift US inflation to about 4.2% this year, with broad global inflation and downside growth risks as energy and fertiliser supply disruptions bite. Global growth is expected to slow, US growth to around 2%, and policy paths for the Fed and ECB remain uncertain, prompting calls for targeted household support to shield vulnerable consumers from higher energy bills.
