Global economy rattled as Iran conflict triggers energy and commodity shocks
TL;DR
The US–Israel war on Iran has disrupted Hormuz shipping and triggered what the IEA calls the largest energy supply shock in history, sending ripples through the global economy. The fallout includes higher fuel and fertiliser costs, strained supply chains, and price pressures that are already nudging restaurants to cut menus in India, dampening tourism in Thailand, prompting Sri Lankan fuel rationing, lifting jet fuel costs in South Africa, and raising security concerns in Europe, with exporters like Russia potentially benefiting from market volatility.
