WHAT HAPPENED

Higher energy prices linked to the Iran war are creating a policy challenge for the U.S. Federal Reserve. The report concerns potential inflation and monetary-policy effects rather than a confirmed market shock.

SO WHAT?

Sustained energy-price pressure could raise inflation and complicate interest-rate decisions with wider economic effects.
