[Federal Reserve Goolsby: It may take until 2027 to cut interest rates] Chicago Fed President Goolsbee said on Tuesday that if the Iran war leads to long-term high oil prices and thereby slows down the decline of inflation towards the Fed's 2% target, the Federal Reserve may need to wait until 2027 before cutting interest rates.

But now, his confidence has waned. He said: "In some cases, interest rates may rise; in other cases, this proves to be temporary - the oil price shock in the Middle East is resolved, inflation returns to decline, and it looks like we are returning to the 2% target, then interest rate cuts will also be back on the agenda."
