Energy Shock: Is This the Breaking Point for the Global Economy?

Chuck Zodda and Mike Armstrong focus on the escalating Middle East conflict and why the economic fallout could last far longer than the fighting itself. With reported damage to LNG infrastructure tied to the world’s largest natural gas field, the potential loss of global supply is no longer theoretical.The guys break down what losing a meaningful percentage of the world’s LNG capacity could mean for Southeast Asia, global shipping, fertilizer, aluminum, and manufacturing supply chains. They also examine the growing risk of fuel shortages, rising gasoline prices, and whether prolonged energy disruption could tip parts of the world — or even the U.S. — into recession.Plus: reaction to the Fed’s latest meeting, Powell’s notably hawkish tone, and a reality check on clickbait recession predictions.
