The U.S. Federal Reserve will wait at least six months before cutting interest rates this year, according to a Reuters poll of economists, as war-driven energy shocks reignite already-elevated inflation.

    Even the Fed's most dovish policymakers now warn inflation ‌remains uncomfortably high, underscoring a lack of urgency to move. Economists have again delayed the timing for an expected cut in the latest poll.

      This just means it won’t happen until the strait opens. But the strait being closed is leading to staflationary conditions. There won’t be a rate cut if stagflation materializes.
