US Inflation Re-ignites at 4.2% & Launch of Warsh Fed: South Korea's Economy Navigates Dual Turbulence of High Exchange Rates and High Oil Prices

If shocks originating from energy spill over into services and wages, pushing core inflation upward, the prolonged period of high U.S. interest rates will become a fait accompli, potentially extending the upward pressure on the strong dollar.
