The Middle East Escalation and the Energy Paradox The shadow of the conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran has become the defining force for global markets, fundamentally altering the risk landscape. This geopolitical crisis has transcended typical “headline noise,” directly targeting energy infrastructure in the Persian Gulf and the critical Strait of Hormuz.

The central bank’s stance suggests it is prepared to raise rates should the energy-driven inflationary pressures from the Middle East intensify. This hawkish signal…
