Yardeni Warns US-Iran Ceasefire Rupture Could Force Fed Rate Hikes as Oil Prices Rise

Summary
Ed Yardeni said a rupture in the US-Iran ceasefire risks reigniting inflation, putting Federal Reserve rate hikes back on the table.
Higher oil prices are driving that concern, with the Iran crisis lifting energy costs and increasing market bets on tighter Fed policy.
Speaking on Bloomberg Television on Wednesday, Yardeni said inflation concerns are “back in play” and argued the Fed may have shifted from pause to tightening.
The warning points to a broader risk that a geopolitical shock in oil could quickly spill into US prices and monetary policy.
