Inflation rises amid geopolitical tensions, raising concerns for consumers as borrowing costs remain under pressure
Inflation continues to rise amid geopolitical tensions, leaving consumers concerned about rising costs. Experts say the Federal Reserve is unlikely to provide immediate relief on interest rates, meaning everyday borrowing and savings could remain under pressure.
