As this is being written, the Mideast war is still raging, oil prices are skyrocketing and heightened uncertainty is battering the financial markets. This is just the last of multiple shocks since the pandemic to cast a cloud over the U.S. economy, including a chaotic tariff rollout, an immigration crackdown, a previous oil shock linked to the Russia/Ukraine conflict and a government shutdown.
If you thought winter storms were the only headwinds the nation is coping with, think again. In a swift series of shocks, the U.S. finds itself directly or indirectly linked to heightened geopolitical tensions in Iran, Venezuela and Cuba even as the four-year Russian/Ukrainian conflict remains a stubborn unresolved thorn in its side. On the domestic front, the landscape remains just as combustible.
