WS #15140
Geopolitical tensions have reached a critical inflection point with three simultaneous supply-side shocks: a confirmed jihadist terror attack on a Flydubai flight in Israel, a massive Ukrainian strike on Russian oil infrastructure, and an unidentified projectile hitting a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. These events have pushed Brent crude above $104, reviving fears of an energy supply crisis that directly counteracts the recent cooling in US inflation. The escalation threatens to reignite global inflation and disrupt shipping routes, creating a highly volatile environment for energy and transport sectors.
