Musalem identified the Trump administration's import tariffs, the US-Israeli war with Iran pushing up fuel costs globally, and the artificial intelligence investment boom driving copper and other commodity prices as contributing factors to inflation. He noted domestic spending and growth remain resilient, adding to inflation pressure.
“Both persistent demand and recurring supply forces are continuing to contribute to keeping inflation risks elevated, and I judge that without further policy restraint on inflation it is more likely to be substantially above our 2% target in 18 months than at target.”
