Geopolitical oil disruption adds new inflation threat, Marcus & Millichap warns
Fed pause as inflation risks rise

The Federal Reserve is maintaining its pause on interest rates as conflicting economic pressures shape the outlook for growth and inflation.

According to Marcus & Millichap, renewed geopolitical tensions are leading to disruptions in global oil supply, which in turn is adding fresh upward pressure on inflation. This complex environment has left uncertainty hanging over the timing of any potential policy shifts by the central bank. Market participants continue to evaluate the impact of ongoing international events on both price stability and overall economic expansion.

Earlier this year, Marcus & Millichap assessed the fallout from the Iran conflict on energy prices and investor behavior. The company also noted increased caution in the sector following the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down tariffs. Both events contributed to heightened uncertainty for commercial real estate and the broader U.S. economy.
