Today on The Open Bell: Oil is back above $100 a barrel because ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow channel that carries roughly a fifth of the world's crude, are under threat, and the knock-on is already showing up in grocery prices from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur and in government budgets that were not built for $102 oil. Samsung just told its suppliers to cut shipments by up to 30% this quarter, because the same memory chip that's powering every AI model you've heard of is now too expensive to put inside a smartphone at a price anyone wants to pay. American Express has been fined $350 million for running an anti-money-laundering programme that regulators decided wasn't really doing the job, one of the largest penalties a US card network has ever faced, and every other major card company is quietly reviewing its own back office today. If today's episode helped you make sense of what's actually moving, a five-star rating takes thirty seconds and it genuinely helps the next listener find the show.
