 Oil breaks $107, Fed silent, Brazil cuts rates. What's happening to the global economy? Today — several signals worth tracking for anyone managing money or a business. WTI oil surged 7% — above $107. Reason: escalation around Iran and the risk of a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. For Europe, this means a new round of inflation; for Russia, an increase in oil and gas revenues, but also heightened sanctions pressure. The Fed left rates unchanged. S&P 500 — zero movement. The market is frozen in anticipation of tech giants' earnings. Key question: when will easing begin? Germany: inflation accelerated to 2.9% — a high since the start of the year. Domestic consumption under pressure, industry even more so. Brazil, bucking the trend, cut its rate to 14.50%. Signal: emerging markets are starting to act preemptively. What does this mean for you? Commodity volatility + high US rates + European inflation = a perfect storm for businesses relying on manual forecasting. AI analytics allows recalculating scenarios in seconds, not weeks.
