Executive Summary
The fragile US-Iran ceasefire has collapsed, leading to renewed military strikes, a surge in Brent crude prices to nearly $80/barrel, and heightened geopolitical instability.
The conflict is characterized by the Trump administration's "performative diplomacy," which lacks a clear end-state or the involvement of key regional stakeholders, suggesting a prolonged period of volatility that is underpriced by markets.
Meta is facing a "big tobacco moment" with lawsuits from numerous states seeking $1.4 trillion in penalties for allegedly harming the mental health of teenagers, signaling a significant shift in legal and financial risk for the company.
The US-Iran conflict is projected by the IMF to depress global economic output to 3% and raise global inflation to 4.7%, with US inflation expectations also rising, creating a bearish outlook for the global economy.
