BCA's Iran Conflict Daily Dashboard Crisis At Inflection Point?The US extended the deadline to April 6 for Iran to cease hostilities. President Trump has a low pain threshold due to the midterm election, but Iran is willing to sustain pressure. Attacks from both sides continued.There had been some traffic through the Strait for countries that agreed to pay a fee to the Iranian authorities. However, this has a marginal impact on global energy supply, as some Asian countries have begun implementing measures to curb energy consumption, such as reducing the workweek, declaring public holidays, and rationing fuel.The market showed renewed signs of stress after a brief relief rally last week when negotiations were announced. The Brent-WTI spread, dated to the front-line Brent spread, copper, aluminum, and VIX rebounded.It is not at all clear that President Trump and Iran will successfully de-escalate in the near term. If Iran embraces talks this coming week, then energy has likely peaked, stocks will rise, and treasury yields will fall. If Iran continues to attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz, it implies that it is not ready to negotiate yet.Updated: March 30, 2026.

Japan offers Malaysia a strategic blueprint for navigating the polycrisis of West Asia? - Phar Kim Beng MARCH 31 — The war in West Asia is no longer a distant geopolitical disturbance. It is a systemic shock—one that is rippling across energy markets, supply chains, and industrial strategies worldwide. For Malaysia and Asean, the question is no longer whether to respond, but how. In this emerging polycrisis—where war, inflation, energy insecurity, and technological fragmentation intersect—Japan offers one of the most compelling models of strategic adaptation. That lesson was made abundantly clear at the recent Japan–Malaysia Industrial Cooperation Seminar, convened with the strong support of the Embassy of Japan under the leadership of Ambassador Shikata Noriyaki. By bringing together some of Japan’s most distinguished policymakers, scholars, and industry leaders, the Embassy has done Malaysia a strategic service at a moment of mounting uncertainty. Among them, Professor Suzuki Kazuto of the University of Tokyo emphasised that economic security has now moved decisively to the centre of national strategy. This is no longer an abstract concept. It is operationalised through diversified supply chains, strategic stockpiling, and long-term industrial planning. In an era where the Strait of Hormuz can no longer be assumed open, such thinking is indispensable. Malaysia must internalise this shift. Efficiency alone can no longer be the organising...

Yes. I do think #polycrisis has potential. Here’s Futurist Bryan Alexander’s take on it. In other posts he addresses the links to (higher) education. bryanalexander.org/futures/scan...

‘Expect extremely high grocery prices,’ farmer warns as diesel costs rise An Ontario farmer says if high fuel prices, driven by the Iran war, persist, Canadians could face high grocery prices in the coming months.

'Expect extremely high grocery prices,' farmer warns as diesel costs rise: thanks to the US-Israeli war on Iran, Canadian farmers are bracing for higher costs and warning consumers could soon feel the impact at the checkout line.

Avi Lewis elected NDP leader after successful populist, left-wing campaign The 58-year-old democratic socialist and filmmaker takes on the job his grandfather once held — amid signs of disunity in the party.

"I know every politician says they feel your pain, and they claim to be outraged by the sky-high price of everything. But what they won’t talk about is why: An economy that’s rigged for the rich, leaving the vast majority of us behind"
