Global economy choking as US-Israel-Iran war ignites markets The Strait of Hormuz — through which 20% of the world's oil flows — is paralyzed after Iranian retaliation strikes. Hundreds of tankers stranded. Brent crude surged to $90. European spot gas prices jumped 80% in days. Industrial impact: Qatalum aluminum plant halting production. Aluminium Bahrain declares force majeure. Gulf nations produce 8% of global aluminum — prices soaring. Semiconductor supply chains threatened: helium (critical for chip manufacturing) has no substitute. Tech: Drone attacks damaged Amazon data centers in UAE and Bahrain. Foxconn chairman warns of broader impacts. Airlines: Wizz Air warns $58 million profit hit. Stocks crashing. Recession risks: Morgan Stanley warns "recession scenario." Goldman: $100 oil slows global growth by 0.4%. Barclays: earnings expectations will be revised down. Real cost: US gas $2.98→$3.32 in one week. German economy faces €40 billion loss over two years if oil hits $100. French industries cutting production. We condemn the Trump administration for launching war without calculating consequences. We condemn the Netanyahu government for regional escalation. We condemn the military-industrial complex profiting while ordinary people pay double for fuel. We condemn a financial system that lets politicians play soldiers while economies burn. Washington lit the fire. Now the whole world burns. https://newsgroup.site/%d0%b2%d1%96%d0%b9%d0%bd%d0%b0-%d1%81%d1%88%d0%b0-%d1%82%d0%b0-%d1%96%d0%b7%d1%80%d0%b0%d1%97%d0%bb%d1%8e-%d0%b7-%d1%96%d1%80%d0%b0%d0%bd%d0%be%d0%bc-%d0%bf%d1%96%d0%b4%d0%bf%d0%b0%d0%bb%d0%b8%d0%bb/ #Economy #OilPrices #Inflation #Recession #StraitOfHormuz #WarEconomy

Key factors: — Inflation remains above 2% targets despite peaking — Central banks keep rates high, lag effects still coming — Germany and UK near technical recession — China slows amid property crisis and weak demand — Geopolitical risks (Ukraine, Middle East) threaten energy Optimists point to resilient labor markets, steady consumer spending, and stabilized energy prices. Pessimists warn of delayed rate impacts and credit tightening. For investors: diversification across quality companies, real estate, gold, and geographic regions remains essential. #GlobalEconomy #Recession #SoftLanding #Investing #Markets https://vir.group/

22 states are currently in a recession — or are dangerously close. “State-level data makes it clear why the U.S. economy is on the edge of recession,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “Based on my assessment of various data, states making up nearly a third of U.S. GDP [gross domestic product] are either in or at high risk of recession [and] another third are just holding steady.” #economy #tariffs #trump #recession https://www.aol.com/articles/22-states-facing-recession-already-132833005.html
