If the US continues to harm allies, they will be less incentivized to buy US treasury bonds, leading to a weaker dollar and higher inflation in the US.
"If we keep hurting our friends and allies, then it's not going to be incentive for them to buy our treasury bonds and lend us money, which means a weaker dollar and even higher inflation in the US."

Escalation of the US-Iran conflict will disrupt oil supply and spike oil prices.
"So any escalation in this conflict and of course there's going to be disruption. It's going to affect this, you know, the supply of available oil and it's going to spike up the price of oil"
Oil Prices
Pending
Higher oil prices (leading to increased business costs) will result in higher prices across the entire economy.
"If that happens, then those costs like those higher costs will get passed down to consumers and that's going to mean higher prices across the entire economy."
Inflation
Pending
The current situation increases the risk of stagflation, potentially hitting Europe and Asia harder than the US.
"But what this situation does is increase the risk of moving in that direction and this doesn't affect just the United States of America. In fact, Europe and Asia could be hit even harder."
Stagflation
Pending
Higher energy prices will slow down global trade.
"So in other words, higher energy prices will slow down global trade."
Global Trade
Pending
A slowdown in Europe and Asia (due to higher energy prices) will lead to declining demand for US exports, weaker global manufacturing/trade, and negatively impact US corporate earnings, financial markets, and economic growth.
"If Europe slows down, demand for US exports declines. If Asia slows down, global manufacturing and trade weaken and that ultimately feeds back into corporate earnings to financial markets and economic growth in the US."
US Economy
Pending
If the US-Iran situation escalates, the Federal Reserve will have to accelerate its rate of money printing beyond the current $40 billion per month.
"However, they're currently printing about $40 billion a month. But if this escalates $40 billion a month, that's going to look like rookie numbers. So my concern is that they're going to have to accelerate the rate of money printing."
Money Printing (Quantitative Easing)
Pending
There is a higher probability the Federal Reserve will print even more money later in 2026, which will be inflationary, contrary to their stated plans to decrease money printing.
"after the talks have failed, it is my opinion that there's now a higher probability that they're going to have to print even more money later on in 2026, which is of course inflationary."
