Fed holds rates steady, forecasts only one cut in 2026 as inflation concerns persist

The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged and reduced its 2026 rate-cut forecast to just one move, citing sticky inflation.

Morgan Stanley: Iran war oil shock threatens inflation, rates, and 2026 midterm outcomes

Morgan Stanley warns the Iran war's oil shock could broaden into persistent inflation, forcing central banks to delay rate cuts and weighing on economic activity.

Stock market shows negative reaction to surprise Fed rate hikes, positive to cuts

Academic research confirms equity markets drop sharply on surprise Fed rate hikes—one study found a 4.68% one-day decline per percentage point surprise cut (inverse relationship).

Russian oil sanctions extended, supply concerns keep prices elevated near-term

The U.S. extended sanctions waivers on Russian oil exports, but supply disruption fears persist. Goldman Sachs sees limited impact, yet geopolitical risk premium remains embedded in crude.
