🚨 Things are becoming more dangerous for the economy.

Oil prices are rising rapidly as tensions between the United States and Iran continue.
Within a few days, oil prices surged sharply, and this is important because expensive energy usually means higher inflation and slower growth at the same time.
The problem is simple but frightening: if oil continues to rise, inflation could spike again while GDP growth slows down, creating a typical stagflation pressure.
The Federal Reserve would then be stuck in a difficult position.
Tightening policy → Inflation may cool, but growth is harmed.
Easing policy → Growth may improve, but prices could rise again.
The real hope here is to reduce geopolitical tensions, which could help oil supplies move more freely and restore some stability to the market.
