FRBのベージュブックは、中東戦争によるコスト上昇と不確実性を強調している。

-- 米連邦準備制度理事会(FRB)のベージュブックは水曜日、中東紛争が不確実性を高め、米国の経済圏全体でエネルギーコストを押し上げていると指摘した。 ベージュブックは、「中東紛争は、雇用、価格設定、設備投資に関する意思決定を複雑化させる主要な不確実性の要因として挙げられ、多くの企業が様子見の姿勢をとっている」と述べた。 同書はさらに、エネルギーコストが地域全体で急騰し、より広範な価格上昇圧力とサプライチェーン全体のコスト上昇を招いていると付け加えた。 「中東紛争を原因として、すべての経済圏でエネルギーおよび燃料コストが急激に上昇し、貨物輸送コストの上昇、プラスチック、肥料、その他の石油製品価格の上昇につながった。エネルギー関連以外の投入コスト上昇圧力も広範囲に及んでいる。」 ベージュブックによると、原油価格の上昇にもかかわらず、エネルギー関連活動は小幅な増加にとどまり、生産者は掘削拡大に慎重な姿勢を維持している。 「原油価格の上昇に伴い、エネルギー関連活動は若干増加したが、多くの生産者は高価格の持続性に対する不確実性から、掘削量の増加には依然として慎重な姿勢を崩さなかった。」
