Th conflict that has been occurring in Iran has been affecting the US economy mostly by driving up the oil and gas prices. This is causing higher inflation especially with gas prices making everyday lives mire expensive. The overall economy hasn't taken a massive hit but if conflict continues to happen it could get worse. If these prices continue to go up PPI with increase which then will most likely increase CPI with will be bad for all of us. The FED Reserve is watching this conflict closely and if inflation stays high, it might delay cutting intrest rates which is going to make borrowing cost for things like homes and loans higher. Overall our economy is still staying pretty calm but If tension continues or gets worse we could have some serious problems coming in the near future.
