## Resource

When geopolitical risk hits energy markets, central bankers face a new kind of inflation calculus. In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine the economic ripple effects of renewed Hormuz hostilities, using July 2026 data to show how a sudden spike in oil uncertainty complicates the ECB's rate path and the Fed's hold decision. They look at the surprising 0.3% wholesale price decline in June and what it means for inflation expectations, then connect the dots to India's inflation surprise and China's slowing growth. Through concrete numbers and real policy trade-offs, they explore why the 'Hormuz premium' may be the most underappreciated variable in the global outlook. A sharp, specific conversation for anyone trying to understand what's really driving interest rates this summer. #HormuzPremium #GeopoliticalRisk #CentralBankPolicy #ECB #FederalReserve #OilPrices #Inflation #WholesalePrices #PPI #IndiaInflation #ChinaGrowth #GlobalTrade #EnergyMarkets #InterestRates #EconomicForecast #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
