April 15 (Reuters) - Higher oil prices could lead to a
rise in consumer inflation expectations, Chicago Federal Reserve
Bank President Austan Goolsbee told the Financial Times in an
interview published on Wednesday, adding that the US central
bank faces a double danger from the Iran war and Donald Trump's
tariffs.
"If we're going to have high oil prices, we may start seeing
consumer inflation expectations rising notably. And to have
piled this thing on before the tariff inflation went away,
that's a double danger," Goolsbee told the FT on Tuesday
afternoon.
