BlackRock CEO Warns of Severe Global Recession if Oil Prices Reach $150 per Barrel
Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock, has warned that if oil prices rise to $150 per barrel, it could trigger a severe global economic recession. He noted that the outcome of the current conflict is uncertain but suggested two possible extremes: if Iran returns to the international community, oil prices might fall below pre-war levels; otherwise, oil prices could remain above $100 per barrel for years, potentially approaching $150, which would severely impact the global economy.
