Brent crude hit0:25exactly $100 a barrel today, the first0:28time in 2 months. The trigger? Houthi0:30fighters attacked two Saudi oil tankers0:32in the Red Sea, compounding the Strait0:34of Hormuz disruption already underway0:36from the US-Iran war. European stock0:38markets tumbled, the FTSE 100 down 1.8%,0:41the DAX and CAC each falling about 1.6%.0:44Natural gas is now at its highest level0:47in more than 3 years. Euro area0:49inflation sits at 2.8% well above the0:52ECB's 2% target. Under the adverse0:55scenario Lagarde's staff is modeling0:57that number could climb to between 3.50:59and 4.2% by September. Two critical1:02energy arteries are under threat. In the1:04Red Sea, Houthi fighters are attacking1:06Saudi oil tankers. In the Strait of1:08Hormuz, the US-Iran war has disrupted1:11the passageway that carries roughly 20%1:13of the world's oil. Lagarde ordered1:14staff to model three scenarios:1:16baseline, adverse, and severe ahead of1:19the September decision, and the adverse1:21scenario alone could push inflation well1:23above 4%. The question now is who pays?1:26European mortgage holders face higher1:28borrowing costs if the ECB follows1:30through.
