Oil Above $100 Has Central Banks Rethinking Neutral Rates
Oil prices holding above $100 a barrel are prompting central banks to reconsider their estimates of the neutral interest rate — the level that neither stimulates nor restricts the economy. Sustained energy costs keep inflation elevated, which could mean rates need to stay higher for longer than previously assumed.
Why now: Persistently high oil prices are fuelling inflation concerns and reshaping expectations about how long interest rates will remain elevated.
