Escalation in Iran, The Strait of Hormuz, and Oil Shock Risk

In this episode of Three in 10, Scott Slayton, Partner and Chief Strategist at Capital Creek Partners, focuses on the escalating war in Iran and its implications for global markets. Scott explains why the prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the disruption of oil flows could represent a major economic shock that investors may be underestimating. He outlines the potential for significantly higher oil prices and why that scenario would pressure both stocks and bonds. Scott concludes with a more cautious near-term outlook for risk assets as geopolitical uncertainty rises.
