The New York Times reports that the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation showed some easing during a brief reprieve in the war with Iran.

The outlet said the improvement in price pressures appears to have coincided with the pause, offering a temporary look at cooler inflation dynamics.

However, the story also notes that the resumption of fighting suggests inflation risk remains, keeping uncertainty for the Fed’s outlook.
