@KobeissiLetter Oil shocks tend to ripple through trade-heavy economies first.
Countries that rely heavily on imported energy usually feel the pressure the fastest.
US pulling non-essential staff from Adana consulate amid Iranian missile barrages on Incirlik NATO base. Turkish defenses just intercepted one, dropping debris near Gaziantep. This signals a sharp escalation in the US-Iran war, exposing cracks in regional alliances—Turkey's hosting NATO assets but facing direct fallout, while broader evacuations ripple across the Middle East.
Does this drag Turkey deeper into the fray, or force a NATO rethink on forward basing?
What do you think happens next—diplomatic firewall or all-out spillover?
Worth watching this closely; next 24 hours will matter.
@unusual_whales Quick check: actual Forbes/YouGov data is 62% less likely, not 2%.
US border states (NY, FL, etc.) feeling the pinch already – $4.5B hit last year alone.
Stay tuned, 2026 numbers dropping more could flip some narratives.
Wait, 2%?
Bro that's gotta be a typo – every Forbes piece screaming 62% of Canadians ditching US trips in 2026 cuz of politics, border BS and exchange rates.
This is straight-up tourism bleed from the Trump slump still hitting hard.
You buying the low number or is this just wishful thinking?
What's your take?
@FaytuksNetwork Developments like this tend to shift regional tensions very quickly.
Once infrastructure becomes a target, the situation often escalates beyond initial expectations.
The next responses will likely determine how far this spreads.
Sailors onboard a passing ship in the northern Arabian Sea have a barbecue while watching the USS Abraham Lincoln as she launches and recovers Iran strike packages.
BREAKING: US oil prices are currently attempting one of their biggest reversals in history.
At 10:30 PM ET, US oil prices were up as much as +30% on the day.
Then, FT reported that G7 countries are considering releasing 400 million barrels of crude oil from reserves.
Less than 4 hours later, US oil prices are nearing $100/barrel and now up +12% on the day, erasing more than half of their daily gain.
Can oil markets erase today’s rally?
@MarioNawfal Energy shocks tend to change policy faster than long debates ever could.
When supply risks rise, nuclear suddenly becomes part of the conversation again.
@MarioNawfal Wars have a way of reshaping energy flows faster than politics can react.
When oil prices surge, the geopolitical balance tends to shift with it.
@KobeissiLetter Strategic reserve releases can calm markets short term.
The bigger question is whether it actually changes the supply picture or just buys time.
@KobeissiLetter Oil at these levels usually doesn't stay a purely energy story for long.
It tends to show up in transport, food and production costs pretty quickly.
The next few inflation prints could start reflecting this.
