๐จ The oil shock nobody is talking about and it's already hitting your wallet.
The Strait of Hormuz just went from moving 20 million barrels/day to nearly ZERO.
Goldman Sachs estimates an 11.4M barrel/day shortfall.
Oil is already at $97. GS warns it could hit $200.
This isn't just an energy story.
Oil feeds plastics, food, shipping, medicine.
When fuel costs 2x, everything else follows.
That's stagflation - inflation + slow growth at the same time.
Central banks can't fix it. Raising rates kills jobs. Cutting rates fuels inflation.
The 1973 OPEC crisis removed 4M barrels/day and wrecked the economy for years.
This one? 5x larger. Hitting a world with record debt and no fiscal buffer.
Asia feels it first (Japan, Korea, Vietnam, India).
Europe follows in mid-April.
US comes last - but it still comes.
What does this mean for crypto?
Historically, stagflation = hard assets outperform.
BTC, commodities, and real yield-bearing assets tend to hold better than equities.
Watch unemployment + oil price together. When both move up, that's your real signal.
