The war in Iran is pushing up oil and gas prices, but the impact is spreading far beyond energy markets. Chrystia Freeland highlights how farmers are facing a "double whammy" as both fuel and fertilizer costs surge at a critical moment in the planting season. Fertilizer expert Josh Linville says global nitrogen supplies have tightened dramatically due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, while CoBank CEO Tom Halverson warns that farmers are already under pressure from weak crop prices and rising input costs. With fertilizer shortages threatening yields, the conflict could soon translate into higher food prices and renewed inflation around the world.

Market declines sparked by the Iran war are morphing into a full-blown rout across Wall Street. Efforts to broker an end to the fighting and restart the flow of Middle East oil produced only further escalation, which in turn fueled an ever-greater sense of dread in markets. The Nasdaq 100 fell 1.9% on Friday alone and sank into correction; the S&P 500 slipped for a fifth week, capping its longest losing streak since 2022; bonds fell, pushing the benchmark 30-year yield towards 5%; and Bitcoin is at about half its pre-war peak.  The bond selloff has been driven not only by rising inflation expectations but also by a repricing of what central banks intend to do next, a shift playing out from Washington to Frankfurt to Tokyo. Kathy Jones, Chief Fixed Income Strategist at Schwab Center for Financial Research, joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. She speaks with Tim Stenovec and Isabelle Lee.

The US and Israel bombed Iranian nuclear and steel facilities on Friday, while Iran retaliated across the Persian Gulf, causing markets to sink and oil prices to rise amid fears an extended Middle East conflict will drag down the global economy.

Spencer Faragasso, Senior Fellow with the Institute for Science and International Security, joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. He speaks with Tim Stenovec and Isabelle Lee.

The Trump administration is signaling to allies that it has no immediate plans for a ground invasion of Iran, even as it deploys thousands of troops to the Middle East, people familiar with the matter said. The people, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations, cautioned that President Donald Trump could change his mind at any moment or go ahead with an attack. A risk-off mood continued to grip markets Friday, with major US indexes entering correction territory as investors grow increasingly skittish on geopolitical risk.
