The Iran Oil Shock: What a Prolonged Conflict Could Mean for Energy Markets
Live Webinar
Join Chief Economist, Mark Zandi, and colleagues as they examine the escalating economic fallout from the conflict involving Iran and assess the implications for global oil and gas markets. They'll provide a brief overview of key developments since the onset of hostilities and evaluate how these events are affecting energy supply, prices, and market sentiment.
The team will present a baseline outlook for oil markets and contrast it with a more pessimistic downside scenario in which the conflict persists or intensifies. In this scenario, they'll explore the potential consequences for energy prices, inflation, and global growth, highlighting the key risks that investors and policymakers should be watching closely.
