OECD forecasts US inflation will reach 4.2% due to Iran war impacts on energy prices
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development released a report projecting US inflation will rise to 4.2% in 2026 due to energy price increases from the Iran conflict disrupting oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. The OECD also revised US economic growth projections upward to 2.0% while cutting forecasts for other major economies. The organization expects the Federal Reserve to hold interest rates steady through 2027.
