Welcome to this week's episode of the Money and Investing Show with Andrew Baxter and co-host Mitch.

Geopolitical conflict has once again taken centre stage, and the economic ripple effects are already being felt across global markets. In this episode, Andrew and Mitch unpack the growing Iran vs US tensions and explain why this conflict is far more than a headline in the news. From oil supply disruptions to rising energy prices, the Iran vs US situation is rapidly influencing inflation, interest rates, and the direction of global markets.

As the Strait of Hormuz faces disruption and a significant portion of the world’s oil supply hangs in the balance, the economic implications become impossible to ignore. Higher fuel prices ripple through freight, manufacturing, and food supply chains, placing pressure on central banks and adding further complexity to the inflation battle.

Andrew also steps back to examine the bigger geopolitical picture. Could the Iran vs US conflict be part of a broader strategic move ahead of major global negotiations? How might this situation affect China, global energy markets, and the stability of the financial system?

Most importantly, Andrew and Mitch break down how traders and investors can think through these moments of uncertainty. With volatility rising and markets reacting quickly, understanding the economic mechanics behind geopolitical events becomes an advantage.

If you want a clearer perspective on how global conflict connects to markets, inflation, and economic power shifts, this episode is one you will not want to miss.
