WTI is an emerging risk for markets, with the price of the US benchmark up nearly 3% for the week. Supply concerns are returning to the market due to OPEC+ production caps and resilient demand. The risk for the FOMC is that inflation will persist above target and that a premature policy change will worsen the issue. Lower interest rates are a known driver of oil prices.
