AI Summary (NQ-processed)
According to a CNA report on May 19, a joint US-Israeli war against Iran has triggered global economic shocks. A Reuters analysis indicates the conflict has already cost global corporations at least $25 billion, forcing nearly 280 companies to raise prices or cut production. The situation has led to energy supply shortages, causing fuel prices in India to rise twice in one week and sparking concerns among Uber drivers about rising costs. In Kenya, soaring fuel prices have led to protests and strikes. To ease market pressure, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has again extended sanctions waivers on Russian oil. Meanwhile, companies like Ryanair have expressed concern over their operational outlook due to uncertainty in future fuel prices and supply.
