On April 9, Federal Reserve officials weighed different scenarios for the U.S. economy following the outbreak of the Iran war, including situations that may require both interest rate cuts and increases. The minutes from the March FOMC meeting, released on Wednesday, revealed that most officials are concerned that the war could impact the labor market, necessitating a reduction in interest rates. At the same time, many officials emphasized inflation risks, which could ultimately require an increase in rates. The minutes indicated that an increasing number of officials suggested incorporating relevant language into the post-meeting statement to mention the possibility of rate hikes under specific conditions. The minutes stated: 'Some participants believe there is ample reason to provide a two-way description of future rate decisions in the post-meeting statement, reflecting that an increase in the target rate range may be appropriate if inflation remains persistently above the target level.' Following the March meeting, several Fed policymakers expressed a preference to maintain interest rates unchanged while assessing the impact of the war. Overall, policymakers' responses to the war reflect concerns about the dual risks associated with their dual mandate. The minutes noted: 'The vast majority of participants believe that both inflationary and employment downside risks are elevated, with most participants pointing out that these risks have increased with the developments in the Middle East.' At the March meeting, Federal Reserve officials maintained the benchmark policy rate in the range of 3.5% to 3.75%.

On April 9, White House Press Secretary Levitt stated at a press conference that Iran's initial 10-point proposal was unacceptable and has been discarded. Iran subsequently proposed a 'more reasonable and concise' plan that could serve as a basis for U.S.-Iran negotiations. Levitt mentioned that President Trump and his team believe this new proposal from Iran could serve as a viable foundation for negotiations and could be 'consistent' with the U.S. 15-point plan. She emphasized that Trump's demand for Iran to cease uranium enrichment activities remains unchanged, and the notion that Trump would accept an 'wish list' type agreement from Iran is 'completely absurd.'
