Energy Shock Risks: An analysis argues the US-Iran escalation could keep disrupting energy, shipping and fertilizer/food supply chains for months or years, with global institutions warning of spillovers into 2027. Industrial Pressure from Energy Prices: A UK survey warns manufacturers face bankruptcy risk from high energy costs, a reminder of how energy prices can derail decarbonisation and competitiveness.
