Conversas Transatlânticas #12 | Irã, energia e inflação: por que dólar e juros voltaram ao foco

In the new episode of Transatlantic Conversations, Ricardo Evangelista (Europe) and Eduardo Boechat (Brazil) analyze why the war involving Iran has become the main driver of the market: oil and gas prices are rising, the risk of an energy shock is increasing, and the discussion returns to the point that most affects prices in the short term — inflation and interest rates. The conversation explains how the disruption/risk in the Strait of Hormuz and the rise in energy prices are putting pressure on European industry and may alter the ECB's (and also the Bank of England's) interpretation, while the market assesses what this means for the trajectory of interest rates in the US. They also discuss a theme that has gained strength in recent months: "Sell America." The episode's conclusion is clear: in times of stress, the dollar tends to return to being a liquid and safe-haven asset, even if there are narratives of rotation in the medium term. Finally, the episode leaves a practical message for the audience: in an environment of high uncertainty, the focus must be on discipline, position size, and exit point, because volatility can amplify movements across various asset classes. 📌 You will see: ✔️ Why the conflict with Iran became the market's focus ✔️ More expensive energy: how this impacts inflation and interest rates ✔️ Europe under pressure: industry, gas, and ECB dilemmas ✔️ The dollar as a safe haven: what changes in "Sell America" ✔️ Volatility: how to follow the market with more discipline Investing is not suitable for everyone and involves risks, including the possibility of capital loss.
