What Actually Happens When Oil Gets Expensive?

12min Originals

11 mins

This Radar twelve min explains what actually happens when oil prices surge, using the shocks of nineteen seventy-three, seventy-nine, and two thousand and eight as reference points, and connecting them to the Strait of Hormuz closure in March two thousand and twenty-six. It traces the cascade from crude oil to fuel, food, fertilizer, gas, airfares, and monetary policy, with four concrete scenarios and actionable guidance for consumers, businesses, and investors.
