Markets are factoring in the possibility that Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh could raise the policy rate at this week’s meeting. Oil prices have climbed above $100 a barrel as fighting between Iran and the United States resumes, reviving concerns about energy-driven inflation. Rate-hike odds priced in by futures markets have risen sharply, while bond selling has pushed long-term yields higher in the United States and Europe. Strong U.S. jobs data and inflation still above the Fed’s target are also weighing on expectations.
