🚨 Things are getting risky for the economy.
Oil prices are rising fast as tensions between United States and Iran continue.
In just a few days, oil jumped sharply, and that matters because expensive energy usually means higher inflation and slower growth at the same time.
The problem is simple but scary, if oil keeps climbing, inflation could heat up again while GDP growth weakens, a classic stagflation-style pressure.
The Fed will then be stuck in a tough spot.
Tighten policy → inflation may cool but growth suffers.
Ease policy → growth may improve but prices may rise again.
The real hope here is a reduction in geopolitical tension, which could help oil supply move more freely and bring some stability back to the market.
