Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Geopolitical instability in the Middle East drives energy shocks and inflation, forcing central banks to adjust monetary policy. The conflict's initiation by the Trump administration is cited as a cause for the current high gas prices.

The war in Iran has already been driving higher gas prices, and Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Gaston County.
