|
|
|
Inmitten von Marktturbulenzen im Zuge des Irankrieges hält die US-Notenbank den Leitzins stabil und zugleich die Hoffnung auf eine Senkung im Laufe des Jahres wach... --- Der geldpolitische Schlüsselsatz bleibt in der Spanne von 3,50 bis 3,75 Prozent, wie die Federal Reserve am Mittwoch bekanntgab.

The most immediate driver of inflation is the effective closure of the strait of Hormuz by the Iranian military, a global chokepoint through which 20%-30% of the world's oil, gas and fertiliser inputs are normally shipped from the Gulf states.Benchmark oil and gas prices are up by more than 40% and 50%, respectively. The UK is highly exposed, given that we are net importers of gas and have an energy market where the global price of gas directly influences the cost of electricity provision.
