According to a CNBC Fed Survey, a group of 32 respondents, including fund managers and economists, predict that oil prices will average $88 per barrel in the next six months.
This anticipated increase in oil prices may contribute to inflationary pressures, yet the Federal Reserve is still expected to implement rate cuts within the year.
