Middle East conflict drives energy prices higher.
Joseph argues that oil and energy prices are likely to keep climbing because of escalating Middle East military conflict, and this creates serious upside risk for inflation. He notes US refined products like diesel have already hit an all-time high and that additional conflict is occurring as he records, so headline inflation could trend higher near term.

Diesel and crude face supply-driven upside.
Diesel is in a distillate crisis because Ukraine has been striking Russian refineries and Russia is a key diesel exporter, while peak demand season is starting; crude is also elevated due to the Iran conflict. OPEC output increases are mostly theoretical because shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains constrained.

Oil and diesel rise on Hormuz disruption
Renewed U.S.-Iran escalation and strikes on Iranian crude carriers are driving oil prices and especially diesel costs back up. The risk is not just headline conflict but the physical difficulty of moving crude through the Strait of Hormuz, with shipping, insurance, and crewing all becoming harder, keeping upward pressure on energy prices.

U.S. forces disabled Iranian crude carriers near Kharg Island, Jask, and the Gulf of Oman. Physical disruption to Iranian crude exports and higher Gulf geopolitical risk premium should pressure oil prices upward. Short-term event-driven oil exposure makes sense as a trade, but not as a long-term structural thesis. De-escalation headlines, lack of Iranian retaliation, or weakening global demand could quickly reverse the oil spike.

Crude prices likely hold higher.
OPEC output increases are largely theoretical because shipping constraints through the Strait of Hormuz and limited bypass capacity leave little additional export capacity, so announced production boosts are unlikely to translate into lower oil prices.

Oil likely stabilizes despite supply risks.
Oil is the biggest variable, but supply chains are adapting to Hormuz risk through Red Sea routings, AIS transponder workarounds and secured Venezuelan barrels, so oil prices are likely to stabilize rather than spike further; falling oil would also reduce the rationale for further Fed tightening.
