🛢 Oil Shock & Stagflation Risk ⚠️

Brent crude collapsed nearly 10% to $89/barrel, retreating from an intraday peak near $119.50 as traders reassessed Middle East risk after U.S. President Trump signaled tensions with Iran may ease.

But the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed—supply risks are still real.

This volatility highlights a deeper threat:

Inflation shock resurfaces
Growth weakens
Central banks face hawkish pressure
Equity outlook darkens

👉 When inflation collides with stagnation, stagflation becomes more than a textbook term—it’s a real risk.

Safe havens like Gold 🪙 and Bitcoin $BTC may gain renewed importance as uncertainty deepens.
