## Prediction

Within 30 days, the combination of elevated oil prices, higher inflation, and prospective tighter monetary policy will keep global credit and equity volatility above recent norms. Risk assets will experience episodic drawdowns as markets oscillate between fears of stagflation and hopes for rapid de-escalation in the Gulf. The most vulnerable will be high-yield credit, leveraged loans, and cyclical sectors tied to trade and energy-intensive manufacturing. Confirmation would be persistently higher VIX and MOVE indices alongside widened credit spreads; denial would be a rapid reversion to low volatility following a sharp easing in both energy prices and rate expectations.

## Drivers

- US CPI surprise and elevated energy risk from Hormuz
- Emerging trend of global energy disruption affecting macro stability
- Central banks’ limited room to ease given inflation constraints
