Market participants increasingly believe that leading central banks will lean toward a more hawkish policy stance, as war-induced spikes in energy prices continue to intensify inflation concerns. These worries have been amplified by reports suggesting that the United States is weighing a potential ground operation in Iran, along with the growing involvement of Yemen’s Houthi forces. The Iran-backed group has carried out missile and drone strikes against Israel within a 24-hour period and signaled that additional attacks could follow in the days ahead. This development effectively opens another front in an already escalating conflict, unsettling the global economy and heightening the risk of further disruptions to trade routes through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait near the Red Sea. Combined with the effective shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz, these factors continue to support elevated oil prices and raise the likelihood of renewed inflationary pressure.
