After 100 days of the Iran war, major central banks including the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England signal continued caution, with markets still lacking clarity on the conflict’s economic effects. Both outlets describe a common issue: central banks are weighing whether the war poses a more immediate risk to inflation or to economic growth, and that determination is expected to remain unsettled in the near term. The available reporting does not indicate a change in policy stance from either the Fed or the BOE, but instead emphasizes that decision-makers are monitoring developments as the conflict continues. In the absence of clear evidence on how the war is affecting prices, demand, shipping, or energy costs, policymakers are described as staying “guarded,” effectively waiting for more data before drawing conclusions that could influence interest-rate decisions. Over the coming week, the central question remains how the conflict’s risks translate into inflation dynamics versus broader growth implications, with no consensus presented across the sources on which channel will dominate.
