Armchair economist writes geopolitical economy fanfic, speedrunning global collapse
If this war does not end by tomorrow night, before the world financial markets open up day after tomorrow in the morning……
You will see an absolute collapse of the global economy
1. Oil over $ 100 a barrel within the first hour and $150 within a few days
2. Pakistani PSX opening up Limit Down which is almost 18,000 points down.
3. American markets losing a few trillion dollars in the first few hours based on the futures trading.
4. Regional players getting entangled especially KSA. Qatar. Kuwait and UAE in some form or the other.
5. Gold prices surging past $5600-6000 per ounce as investors flock to safe-haven assets amid escalating uncertainty.
6. European stock exchanges like FTSE and DAX plunging 10-15% on open, triggering circuit breakers across the continent.
7. Global supply chains grinding to a halt, with shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz disrupted, leading to immediate shortages in commodities.
8. Cryptocurrency markets in freefall, with Bitcoin dropping below $50,000 as risk aversion sweeps digital assets.
9. Emerging economies like India and Turkey facing currency devaluations of 20% or more against the USD within days.
10. Central banks worldwide slashing interest rates in emergency sessions, but failing to stem the panic selling and liquidity crunch.
And I can write 10 more reasons but I think these are enough to give you a heart attack. It does to me.
