What Happened
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) just dropped a bombshell report, slashing its growth forecasts for major economies worldwide. Blame it on the escalating US-Israel-Iran war that's sending oil prices into the stratosphere. According to BBC and Financial Times reports from this morning, the OECD now sees weaker growth and stubborn inflation ahead, with the US facing a jump to 4.2% inflation due to the energy crunch.
