★Here’s the exact oil price that would tip the U.S. into a recession — and we’re getting closer as the Iran conflict drags on
Strategic Analysis // Ian Gross
"Rising oil prices, especially if tied to geopolitical conflict, pose a direct threat to the resilient U.S. economy. This isn't just about gas at the pump; sustained high energy costs can trigger inflation, squeeze corporate profits, and ultimately push us toward a recession. Understanding this critical threshold is key for investors navigating today's volatile markets."
