White papersA deal with Iran will not push the Fed to cut policy rates
A U.S.–Iran agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz appears to be moving closer. If implemented, it would restore energy flows and begin to unwind the largest supply disruption in history.

White papersWarsh appointment: Inflation sets the early agenda
Kevin Warsh’s tenure as Federal Reserve chair begins amid heightened market scrutiny as investors grapple with renewed inflationary pressure. Stronger‑than‑expected April CPI reinforces the case for patience, even as the new chair has expressed comfort looking through one‑off price pressures.

For investors, the risk is rising that it will be 2027 before they see any further policy easing from the Fed.
