Goldman Sachs has issued a warning that a sustained surge in oil prices due to the Iran conflict could significantly impact U.S. inflation. The bank’s economists estimate that a 10% increase in oil prices, if sustained for three months, could lift headline CPI by approximately 0.28%, potentially pushing inflation to nearly 3% by May. While short-term spikes in oil typically don’t have lasting effects, Goldman Sachs stresses that a prolonged period of elevated prices could lead to a stagflation dynamic, affecting both inflation and GDP growth.
