On April 3rd, escalating tensions in the Iran conflict have amplified global stagflation risks. KPMG Chief Economist Diane Swonk noted that if stagflation takes hold, a "deep recession" may be the only resolution. Stagflation is a concerning economic scenario marked by persistent high inflation and weak growth. “The Strait of Hormuz blockade and the resulting oil price surge have impacts far beyond a simple oil shock,” Swonk said. She argues the current situation’s effects are more severe than any prior oil crisis in history—directly driving up costs across sectors (spurring price hikes) while slashing businesses’ hiring intentions, which hits the job market. With multiple intertwined factors, stagflation risks keep rising. Swonk’s view aligns with market investors. “Odds of a Fed rate hike in the second half of the year are climbing; I expect the Fed will be forced to act, with other central banks following suit,” she explained.
