Escalation in the Middle East conflict (Israel-Hamas war) could cause a spike in oil prices, leading to increased inflation and central banks maintaining or raising interest rates.
"any escalation in the war between Israel and Hamas plus its proxies could cause a spike in oil prices because oil is is used in basically everything this would result in more inflation across the board in turn this would force central banks to keep interest rates where they are or even raise them as a means of keeping this supply side inflation under control"
