Executive Summary
A severe, under-reported energy crisis is unfolding due to the complete halt of oil shipments from the Persian Gulf, creating a major disconnect between quoted oil prices ($95) and physical market prices ($120-$150).
Equity markets are demonstrating a dangerous complacency, ignoring geopolitical turmoil and the escalating energy crisis, a situation reminiscent of periods preceding major market corrections like the 1987 crash.
Investment in Artificial Intelligence continues at a massive scale, acting as a separate economic engine that is currently disconnected from and propping up markets despite the broader geopolitical instability.
The US government is described as lacking the competence and process to manage complex, concurrent crises, from the geopolitical situation in the Middle East to the urgent need for AI safety regulation, which requires unlikely cooperation with China.
