The global economy is flashing warning signs of a 1970s-style stagflation—and it’s being driven by war. The International Monetary Fund and World Bank now warn that the Middle East conflict will slow global growth while pushing inflation higher, even in a best-case scenario.
With oil supply shocks cutting availability by 13% and energy prices surging, inflation pressures are intensifying worldwide. Economist Kenneth Rogoff warns interest rates could stay “painfully high,” with the 10-year Treasury yield already climbing.
As geopolitical tensions reshape markets, we’re entering an era of persistent inflation, slower growth, and economic fragmentation.
Is this the start of a long-term stagflation crisis? Watch now to understand what’s coming—and how it could impact your money, markets, and the global economy.
