Why Oil Prices Are Decoupling From Geopolitical Threats - Trumponomics
Jun 20, 2025 Trumponomics
On this episode of Trumponomics, we ask what Israel’s war with Iran, Donald Trump’s public musings about sending America to fight again in the Middle East and a potentially soaring oil price would mean for the US economy—and the 79-year-old Republican’s economic plans. We also address why those high oil prices haven’t yet come to pass.
Host Stephanie Flanders is joined by Jennifer Welch, chief geoeconomics analyst for Bloomberg Economics and Ziad Daoud, chief emerging markets economist and senior fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School.
