“All signs are leading to escalation,” Bloomberg Chief Emerging Markets Economist @ZiadMDaoud tells @davidgura and @EenaRuffini about the state of the Iran war as oil nears $117/barrel. “Unfortunately, there are no live negotiations that are taking place in which you can draw hope from. There are only threats. There's only military escalation and military buildup in the region.”

I spoke with @bloombergtv about how the Middle East today feels similar to February before the Iran war; how the risk of renewed fighting is rising; and how the oil market is reacting. More warnings, less optimism, I’m afraid. Sorry. youtu.be/yyHYpWtXYEU?si=djn3…

Personal news: thrilled to announce I joined Bloomberg News as a Middle East oil reporter in Dubai this week. Look forward to taking on the challenge of covering the biggest energy crisis with some of the best in the biz. Thanks to all who made the Reuters journey memorable.
