[Federal Reserve's Goolsbee: The Strong Performance of U.S. Consumers is Key to the U.S. Economy] According to a report by Golden Finance, on April 14, Federal Reserve's Goolsbee stated on Monday local time that the current pricing in the oil futures market reflects an expectation that the oil price surge related to the conflict with Iran will be temporary. As long as this holds true, the impact on the U.S. economy may be limited. In an interview with Fox News, Goolsbee said: 'As long as consumers remain strong, I believe economic growth will remain strong. If this situation persists—if gasoline prices stay at these high levels or go even higher for an extended period—then we will have to reassess what this means for consumer spending. But if the trend follows market expectations, then it will be temporary.'
