The Everything Shock: How a Gulf Energy Crunch Could Reshape Markets and AI
TL;DR Summary
The New Statesman argues we’re in an “everything shock” rather than a simple oil crisis: roughly 10–13 million barrels per day of oil are being withheld, driven by Middle East geopolitics that may allocate energy beyond markets. This tightens energy and food prices, pressures bond markets and the US economy, and even affects AI by raising data-centre energy costs and chip/Supply-chain risks, as Hormuz bottlenecks and Gulf revenue strains ripple through global trade and tech investment.
