[BNY Warns: Lack of Substantial US-Iran Peace Agreement Fuels Global Inflation Expectations; Fed Tightening Shift Will Force Central Banks to Follow Suit] ⑴ Bob Savage, Head of Macro Strategy at BNY Bank, stated that global inflation expectations continue to rise in the absence of a substantial agreement to end the US-Iran conflict, which could lead to interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve and other central banks. Even before this has materialized, the mere expectation of a Fed tightening shift signifies a qualitative change in global policy expectations. ⑵ Savage points out that most central banks globally may need to align their rhetoric with the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), otherwise they will face the risk of widening interest rate differentials against the dollar. In an environment where dollar-denominated commodities already pose inflationary risks, this widening interest rate differential will further generate imported inflationary pressures.
