CoinFeed reported on May 21 that, according to Jinshi, Federal Reserve officials' concerns about the Iran war pushing up inflation intensified last month, with a growing number of officials indicating that the Fed should pave the way for a possible interest rate hike. This suggests that incoming Fed Chairman Warsh will be taking over an increasingly hawkish decision-making team. Furthermore, most policymakers at the April meeting stated that if inflation continues to remain persistently above the 2% target, further policy tightening may be necessary. The meeting minutes revealed: "To address this possibility, many participants indicated they preferred to remove wording that suggested a dovish bias in future interest rate decisions."
