About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of the escalating Iran conflict and rising oil prices on inflation and central bank policies.

We break down the escalating Iran conflict, surging crude oil prices, and the government's SPR release as a stopgap measure to cool the energy market. We discuss how prolonged elevated oil prices are feeding into inflation expectations, putting the Fed in a tough spot as other central banks have already pivoted toward hikes, and why 2022 comparisons are surfacing but may be premature. We also cover the political dynamics boxing the administration into a corner and why a quick resolution is the bull case while every passing day adds risk.
