Oil prices have tumbled on news that the United States and Iran have agreed on an initial two-week ceasefire, potentially allowing energy flows to resume through the Strait of Hormuz. Risk assets have surged and rate hike expectations have been pared back. But needless to say, the situation remains both uncertain and fragile.
Join ING’s economists and strategists for their first take on what the news means for the global economy and financial markets.
They’ll discuss:
How quickly energy flows can resume through the Strait of Hormuz and the scenarios for the second quarter
The impact of the conflict so far on global supply chains and global growth
How high inflation is likely to rise and whether central bank rate hikes are back off the table
Whether bond yields have further to fall
The direction for EUR/USD and scenarios for FX markets
Speakers

Ewa Manthey (Commodities Strategist)
Chris Turner (Global Head of Markets and Regional Head of Research for UK & CEE)
