Show Notes
Energy prices soar as Middle East tensions escalate, causing global market turmoil. Israels strike on Irans South Pars gas field and Irans retaliation on Qatars Ras Laffan facility lead to a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, halting shipments. Gasoline prices in the US surge by 30% since late February, with crude oil futures climbing 69% and 93% for light sweet and Brent crude, respectively. Markets react sharply, with major indexes like Japans Nikkei, Germanys DAX, and US futures pointing to losses. President Trump intervenes, vowing to destroy South Pars if Qatars gas operations face more attacks. Consumers in China and India, Qatars biggest gas buyers, are closely watching as European wholesale liquefied natural gas prices surge 25%. The economic pressure is building fast.
