   What happens when an energy shock sends oil prices soaring? The ripple effects can reach far beyond the gas pump, driving up the cost of groceries, transportation, and everyday goods while putting the Federal Reserve in a difficult position on inflation and interest rates. Lees meer

   In this episode of the BiggerPockets Money, host Scott Trench and longtime guest J Scott break down the economic domino effect of energy supply shocks and how disruptions in global energy markets can affect inflation, mortgage rates, household finances, and the broader economy. They explain how oil futures react almost immediately, why gasoline prices can take one to two weeks to respond, and how the effects can spread through supply chains for months or even years. They also explore how tariffs and deglobalization could intensify economic pressures, why energy-importing countries may face greater risks than the United States, and whether the Federal Reserve can control inflation without slowing economic growth.

   Tune in to understand how energy shocks move through the economy, what policymakers can realistically do about them, and how to think about the financial consequences for your household.
