Today we look at the impact of a further spike in energy prices as European natural gas trades at impossible levels and global crude oil prices jump on talks of a ban of Russian crude oil imports. In particular, we flag the risk of not only a real growth recession if energy prices stay here or head higher, but also a financial crisis. Food price rises are even more alarming on humanitarian concerns. How the situation is filtering into FX markets and the particularly slow-to-react US equity market also in focus. Today's pod features Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on commodities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.
