Show Notes
Central banks worldwide united to combat inflation in 2021-2022, but the Middle East conflict has disrupted this unity. Energy shocks and supply chain issues are reshaping inflation forecasts, leading to faster action against rising prices. UBS economists present scenarios: prolonged Hormuz blockage could push oil to $130-$150, triggering recession. Central banks responses vary, with the Fed potentially cutting rates to zero, Switzerland going negative, and the Bank of England reversing hikes. The ECB is expected to hold firm. U.S. job growth slows, while Europes labor market remains strong, indicating divergent paths ahead.
