Todays video looks at the growing economic damage now being caused by the ongoing war involving Iran and the disruption spreading throughout global energy markets, shipping, aviation and manufacturing.
We are now starting to hear directly from some of the worlds biggest companies about the real-world impact of soaring oil prices and supply chain disruption. These are not forecasts from analysts these are CEOs warning shareholders that costs are exploding and that consumers will ultimately end up paying the price.
In this video I go through:
