content: QuoteBois. This is financial discussion, not political, keep that in mind. It is related to electronics, and pretty much everything else your money buys. Keep that in mind, and Let's keep it clean.Netanyahu stated that Iran plotted association on Donald Trump, live on FOX news, just a couple of hours ago.Israel wants U.S. to enter the theater, let's call it Special Military Operation against Iran. Furthermore, yesterday we witnessed U.S. army personnel being served lobster, a fine meal, which is an indicator of imminent deployment.U.S. is going to enter theater, many analysts see it that way. Which also automatically means Iran is going to fire on U.S. targets in the region, close the straight of Hormuz, etc, etc..Shut down global energy and global economy. Destroy oil infrastructure, which would make that shut down perhaps COVID-like in length, considering SMO against Iran has to come to a conclusion and infrastructure has to be rebuild, plus any ecological catastrophes from spilled product, etc. All the while global energy shortages.Tomorrow, Monday 16th, 2025, stock markets are going to open and tell us something. I reckon oil prices are going to sky rocket. Everything related to energy is going to go up.That is the immediate effect on global economy due to investor speculation.Less obvious is the global trade. Ships going through that region. Everything now is going to go up in price, shipping insurance, and shipping re-insurance, plus price of operation, plus price of product being carried itself. All this without Iran shutting down straight of Hormuz or firing at U.S. targets and oil infrastructure in the region.If, and in my understanding not if, but when, U.S. enters the theater, we are going to see total collapse in oil industry, and in international maritime trade. Because obviously majority of shipping routes goes through there, and majority of oil is from that region. In this scenario everything amplifies, because we'd have some destroyed oil infrastructure in the gulf, which I would imagine could not be rebuild overnight, or in half a year.How is it related to us?Let's say you want to order some PCB's and components.PCB's has to be manufactured in a plant which uses energy, which now costs more. PCB's has to be flown to you via airplane which uses fuel, fuel which costs more money, and no doubt some air routes are going to be closed, which just adds to be overall cost of your PCB's. Now your PCB's arrive at local office and have to be delivered to your city on a truck, which uses fuel.. In simple terms, there are multiple steps here, all of which have added cost.We have not taken into account that your customer, is going to have less money, or he'd have money which will be worth less, thus you no doubt are going to lose some customers.Prepare and stuff?I would do same thing I did a couple of months ago, when aliexpress was going through crisis here in United States. I'd order stuff I'd need now and hope it gets to you in time. Just in case. Nothing over the board, but let's say there is a purchase you were planning for the future, now would be a good time to just go ahead and buy it. PCB's? Order them asap. Components? Order them asap.P.S. let's keep this thread clean of any political opinions and stuff that triggers people. It is what it is, we can't change it, we just have to deal with it. Best way to deal with things is to have an idea of what is going to happen next.

content: Oil prices have gone up by about $10 premarket, I don't think this preticipates a stock market crash. A slump, sure, but something that it'll probably recover quickly. It's not even an unheard-of price for this year; oil was more expensive in January.
