Asian markets have taken a hit as BRENT CRUDE REMAINS ABOVE $100 A BARREL for a second consecutive day, fuelling fears of HIGHER INFLATION AND FURTHER INTEREST RATE HIKES.

The escalating U.S.-IRAN CONFLICT has heavily disrupted shipping through the critical STRAIT OF HORMUZ, driving up crude prices and sending shockwaves through global markets.

WITH OIL ABOVE $100 AND HORMUZ UNDER PRESSURE, HOW MUCH MORE CAN GLOBAL MARKETS TAKE? 📈🛢️
