THE ECONOMIC RIPPLE EFFECT OF TODAY’S HEADLINES

Multiple wars, changing global alliances, and dysfunction in the U.S. Congress may have profound economic consequences.

On the war front, for instance, Fortune reported that EY-Parthenon’s chief economist Gregory Daco said the prospect of intensifying conflict in the Middle East could be so severe that it plunges the world back into a recession, cause oil prices to surge to $150, and depress stock prices by some 20%. Even companies that have no business in the Middle East – a company with 90% of its market in the U.S., and based in the Midwest, for instance – would then be caught in its economic fallout. “Depending on how diffuse the situation becomes, the consequences could go from very marginal to significant,” he told Fortune. ?

Tensions in the Middle East renew concerns about the cost of oil.

And on the home front, inflation is still higher than policymakers would like it. Ron Insana unpacks what it means – from Wall Street to Main Street.

BOB WOODWARD

When?BOB WOODWARD?was an officer on a ship off the coast of Vietnam in 1969, he would read news reports that didn’t square with what he was seeing. The government was not telling the truth about the war. That discovery is one of the things that sparked his interest in becoming a journalist.
