Choose D. Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz intensify, and oil prices once again become a global focus
Reason: The Strait of Hormuz is a vital chokepoint for global crude oil transport. Once tensions escalate, oil prices are likely to experience extreme volatility, directly pushing up global inflation expectations. Increases in energy prices will transmit step by step to production costs and the consumer side, creating ripple effects on countries’ monetary policies and broad asset classes. The geopolitical uncertainty here is extremely high—this is the macro risk point that needs the closest monitoring right now. #Anyou Monday Observation Group
