#FOMCMeeting 🌍 FOMC Fallout: Global Conflicts & Trade Turmoil! ⚡
The June 18, 2025, FOMC meeting could ripple through global conflicts and trade! 📉 With rates likely steady at 4.25%-4.50%, a hawkish Fed might strengthen the USD, squeezing oil prices and intensifying Israel-Iran tensions.
🚨 Israel’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites have spiked Brent crude to $75/barrel, threatening the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for 20% of global oil trade. Russia, reeling from Ukraine’s war, benefits from higher oil prices but faces risks if Iran’s regime falters. Trump’s push for a 100 bps rate cut, unmet, could fuel his tariff plans, disrupting global trade further. 😬 Ukraine’s aid may dwindle as U.S. focus shifts to Israel.
🌎 From Red Sea shipping woes to Russia-Iran arms ties, the Fed’s moves could amplify conflict-driven trade shocks. ⚡
