Show Notes
Recent US and Israeli strikes on Iran have sent oil prices soaring, with benchmark U.S. crude closing at $71.23 per barrel and Brent crude at $77.74. While stocks initially dipped, they ended with small gains, betting on a quick end to the conflict. Economists predict minor ripples if the conflict ends within a week or two. However, a drawn-out war could send prices over $100 per barrel, spiking inflation and slowing growth. Higher oil prices could mean gas prices climbing toward $3.50 per gallon, squeezing budgets amid rising costs for food and essentials. Natural gas prices also rose, potentially raising heating bills. Businesses might cut back on hiring and investing if uncertainty lingers, and consumers could grow even gloomier about the economy.
