Steve Moore Says Falling Oil Prices May Lower Inflation

Former White House economic adviser Steve Moore asserts that stabilizing global energy markets, driven by declining oil prices and increased shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, may lower inflation and reduce costs for American families. He argues that because energy is a primary economic input, these trends reduce upward price pressure on manufacturing and transportation.

The Federal Reserve System continues to monitor these inflation trends to inform its future decisions regarding interest rates.
