Oil, Unrest, and Uncertainty in a Fragile Global Economy

In this episode of The Youth Ledger, host Shiven Diwakar breaks down a week of rising global tension—from Iran’s threats to close the Strait of Hormuz to volatile oil prices, Fed caution, and mass protests in the U.S. and Turkey. With energy markets rattled and central banks freezing rate cuts, the world economy hangs in a delicate balance. Shiven unpacks what these developments mean for inflation, global stability, and everyday lives, connecting geopolitics, economics, and youth impact in a way that’s clear, bold, and thought-provoking.
