From the notes:

“In today’s video, we take a deep dive into the growing economic fallout from the ongoing war in Iran — and this time the warnings are coming directly from major global companies. Quarterly earnings reports and shareholder updates are now revealing the real-world impact of soaring oil prices, supply chain disruption, rising shipping costs, inflation pressures, and operational chaos across multiple industries.

Airlines, automotive firms, chemical companies, consumer brands, logistics businesses and tech companies are all now reporting financial damage linked to the crisis in the Middle East. With oil prices remaining above $100 and no clear resolution in sight, the risks to the global economy continue to grow.

The big question now is whether this escalating situation could push the world towards recession.”

“Coming Food Crisis”...

…Predicted in Financial Times Essay (UK)

From Hunger Notes, excerpt…

The contraction in exports from the Middle East is not just a short-term increase in price for agricutural inputs; it risks actual production shortfalls in upcoming harvests.  Rising energy prices always raise food prices.

…sulfur, urrea, and ammonia from the Middle East are key components of farm inputs in China, India, Brazil, Morocco, Indonesia, Australia, the United States and other countries.

…The essay argues that this is a slow-moving yet systemic crisis as farmers plant less now, with resulting smaller harvests months ahead, leading to further increases in food prices later this year.  FT recognizes that poor countries will be hit harvest [hardest? both words work].  While wealthier countries will experience inflation, low income countries may face famine.
