Capitaeconomics: Concerns About Central Bank Tightening Over Iran Conflict Appear Overblown

GateNews
According to Capitaeconomics economists on May 27, concerns that the Iran conflict will trigger sustained inflation and spark a global tightening cycle appear overdone. The economists noted that while developed economies' inflation is expected to rise to 3-4%, the risk of sustained second-round effects is lower than during 2022-2023, given softening labor markets, weakening fiscal support, and elevated rate bases. Many policymakers are likely to overlook temporary energy-driven inflation spikes. Stagflation would only materialize in an extreme scenario involving prolonged Strait of Hormuz disruption and critical infrastructure damage, they added.
