The global economy finds itself caught between two forces it cannot easily escape: oil at $100 a barrel, driven by instability in the Persian Gulf, and a new wave of tariffs reshaping the cost of trade between nations. Unlike past shocks that arrived one at a time, these pressures are arriving together, reviving the specter of stagflation that policymakers hoped had been left in an earlier era. The question now is not whether prices will rise, but whether the institutions designed to manage such crises still have the tools to do so.

Lente Econômica
Dual inflationary pressures from rising tariffs and $100 oil amid Persian Gulf tensions threaten global economic stability and consumer purchasing power.
Consumers face higher prices across goods and services due to tariff pass-through and elevated energy costs. Increased transportation and production expenses will likely raise prices for groceries, fuel, and manufactured products, reducing real purchasing power and household discretionary spending.
Central banks may face pressure to maintain or raise interest rates despite economic slowdown risks. Governments could negotiate tariff exemptions or implement price controls. Energy security policies may shift toward strategic reserves and alternative fuel investments. Trade negotiations may intensify to mitigate tariff impacts.
