In this 141st episode of the On Investors' Minds - APAC Edition podcast, Tai Hui takes a closer look at the impact of elevated oil and wider energy prices with the U.S.-Iran conflict now entering its 4th week. How significant has the damage to energy production infrastructure in the gulf region been since the start of the conflict? What is the latest impact from ships not being able to travel through the Strait of Hormuz? With higher energy prices leading to higher inflation globally, will central banks start to hike their interest rates sooner than previously forecasted?
