Summary
The ongoing war in Iran is raising serious concerns among investors, particularly about the risk of an oil price shock—that is, sharply rising oil prices that could fuel higher inflation and accelerate the devaluation of fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar, the euro, the Chinese renminbi, the Japanese yen, to name just a few. In this video, I'll provide some explanations of key concepts (defining inflation, outlining the cause(s) of inflation), and at the end, I'll offer a brief comment for investors on what to expect.
