Economists warned the U.S. economy will struggle in the coming months as the Iran war drives up oil prices through Strait of Hormuz blockade disruptions.

Rising fuel costs threaten both consumers and businesses with thin profit margins.

Stew Leonard, owner of a $500 million-plus grocery chain, reported suppliers demanding fuel surcharges while resisting consumer price increases.

KPMG chief economist Diane Swonk noted that cost increases will either be passed to consumers or squeeze profit margins and employment. While logistics expert Satish Jindel warned that lower-value products face the steepest price increases as businesses lack sufficient margins.

Online retailers face particular challenges, as customers abandon purchases when charged delivery fees exceeding five dollars. Supply chain disruptions combined with energy cost inflation threaten widespread economic pain affecting both retail and e-commerce sectors.

Fed rate decision September 2025

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%.

Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
