Global Economy at Risk: Oil Price Shock Looms

Experts warn of a looming global recession as investors overlook the massive oil price surge from the Middle East conflict. Despite the S&P 500 reaching a record high, oil prices have soared over 50% since February. Amrita Sen from Energy Aspects calls this market rally a huge puzzle, predicting oil to reach $80-$90 per barrel, causing ripples in industries from LNG and chemicals to fertilizers and food prices. Morgan Stanleys Jens Eisenschmidt echoes the concern, highlighting chaos in airlines and manufacturing due to jet fuel shortages and skyrocketing gasoline costs. Brent crude hits $111.23 per barrel, while WTI rises 2.2% to $104.16. Europes central bank may need to hike rates if the conflict persists, locking in inflation.
