Episode 353: War, Oil, and the Strait of Hormuz - Where Will This Show Up in Your Financial Plan?

Global events don’t stay global; they show up in your day-to-day costs.

In this episode of Think Smart with TMFG, we break down how disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz are driving inflation, increasing oil prices, and impacting everyday Canadians.

We explain why this is a supply shock, not a demand issue, and why interest rates don’t always fix it. From gas and groceries to travel and manufacturing, rising oil prices affect more than most people realize.

We also discuss what this means for your portfolio, and why reacting emotionally during periods like this can do more harm than good.

These events are out of your control, but how you plan around them isn’t.
