In a recent communication, the Financial Stability Board (FSB) highlighted the significant macro-financial risks stemming from the ongoing conflict involving Iran. The global financial watchdog warned that disruptions to oil and other commodity supplies have already resulted in higher and more volatile energy prices. The core concern articulated by the FSB is the potential for a 'stagflationary shock' - a toxic mix of slowing economic growth and rising inflation. This scenario would complicate central bank policy and fuel further volatility in bond markets as investors re-evaluate future interest rate paths, posing a significant headwind for risk assets.
