Best-Performing Leveraged ETFs of March 

War-driven volatility crushed global markets in March, but leveraged ETFs surged. Oil, VIX, and inverse plays dominated the winners' list.



<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>The Fed Chair added that the central bank’s rate decisions have a lagged impact on the economy, so hiking rates now will not help tame inflation due to the war in Iran.</li><li>Powell added that while it is too early to assess the impact of the energy price shock on the U.S. economy, the Fed’s monetary policy is well-positioned to address it.</li><li>According to the CME FedWatch tool, the probability of the Fed keeping interest rates in the current 3.5% to 3.75% range throughout 2026 ranged from 76% to 97%.</li></ul>Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said during an interview at Harvard University’s Principles of Economics class on Monday that the central bank is not facing the question of the impact of the Iran war-induced oil supply shock yet, while adding that the Fed will be mindful of the broader context when it makes a monetary policy decision.“Inflation expectations do appear to be well anchored beyond the short term, but nonetheless, it's something we will eventually maybe face the question of what to do here. We're not really facing it yet, because we don't know what the economic effects will be,” he said, adding that it is too soon to know how the Iran war will impact the U.S. economy amid a rise in energy prices.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Powell Says Need To Monitor Inflation Expectations</h2>Powell noted that the Fed’s primary tool for controlling interest rates affects demand, not supply. He added that the rise in oil prices is a supply-side shock, while acknowledging that it could affect inflation expectations.“You have to carefully monitor inflation expectations because you can have a series of these supply shocks and that can lead the public generally… businesses, price setters, households… lead them to start expecting higher inflation over time,” he added.Last week, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development forecast all-items inflation in the U.S. at 4.2% for 2026, a sharp increase from its previous forecast of 2.8%. The global policy group cited the ongoing war in Iran and President Donald Trump’s tariffs as reasons for its increase in inflation projections.“The breadth and duration of the conflict are very uncertain, but a prolonged period of higher energy prices will add markedly to business costs and raise consumer price inflation, with adverse consequences for growth,” the OECD stated.It expects core inflation, which excludes energy and food prices, to be at 3% in 2026 and 2.4% in 2027.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Fed’s Rate Decisions Have A Lagged Impact On Economy, Says Powell</h2>The Fed Chair added that the central bank’s rate decisions have a lagged impact on the economy, so hiking rates now will not help tame inflation due to the war in Iran.“By the time the effects of a tightening in monetary policy take effect, the oil price shock is probably long gone, and you’re weighing on the economy at a time when it’s not appropriate. So the tendency is to look through any kind of supply shock,” he added.Powell added that while it is too early to assess the impact of the energy price shock on the U.S. economy, the Fed’s monetary policy is well-positioned to address it.According to the CME FedWatch&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html?redirect=/trading/interest-rates/countdown-to-fomc.html">tool</a>, the probability of the Fed keeping interest rates in the current 3.5% to 3.75% range through 2026 ranged from 76% to 97% across the remaining Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings this year.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Crude Oil Continues To Inch Up</h2>Crude oil prices gained on Monday, hovering above the $100 a barrel level.U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures maturing in May gained about 4% to hover around $103 per barrel.

Powell Says Fed ‘Not Really Facing’ Policy Decision Yet Amid Iran Oil Shock – Adds Central Bank Will Be ‘Mindful Of The Broader Context’

The Fed chair noted that the central bank’s primary tool of controlling interest rates has an impact on the demand side, not supply, and added that the rise in oil prices is a supply-side shock.

This resulted in the removal of nearly four million barrels of oil from global markets, leading to a rise in the average monthly crude oil price from $17 per barrel to $36 per barrel.Alan Greenspan, who was the Fed Chair during this shock, kept rates steady at an effective rate of 8.23% to 8.2% between January 1990 and September 1990, before beginning to lower them to 2.96% in December 1993.“So we have precedent for the market leaning heavily on the risk of higher rates, and demanding a sizable risk premium, even though the Fed ultimately cut rates sharply in that episode,” the firm stated in its note.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Crude Oil Ticks Higher</h2>Meanwhile, crude oil prices ticked higher on Monday to hover above the $100 a barrel level despite President Donald Trump stating that Iran has agreed to the 15-point ceasefire plan “for the most part.”U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures maturing in May gained about 4% to hover around $103 per barrel.

I must say, I’m more worried than the average person because of the dynamics of the war. It’s an asymmetrical war, and you now have four parties in the war, all of whom believe they’re winning,” he added, noting that this makes it more difficult to end the conflict.El-Erian also warned that he is starting to see a destruction of demand in other economies that can accumulate, while adding that there could be an impact on demand in the U.S. as well. He added that Asian economies are not worried about crude oil prices alone, but about actual shortages, highlighting that this is another tipping point for the global economy.Meanwhile, crude oil prices hovered above the $100 a barrel level at the time of writing.U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures maturing in May gained more than 2% to hover around $102 per barrel.
