Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East can quickly push oil prices higher, especially if energy infrastructure or key shipping routes like the Strait of Hormuz are disrupted. Because oil is a major input across the global economy, rising prices can feed into broader inflation through higher transportation, production, and shipping costs.
Interest Rates, Yield Expectations, and Cross-Border Implications
