Report examines White House policies and regional instability in Asia

Asia; victim of White House decision instability. The Asia Times analytical platform reported on U.S. actions in the region and ceasefire violations between the United States and Iran, writing that Washington's repeated shifts in positions have once again exposed Asian economies to a wave of instability. Ryan Sweet, senior economist at Oxford Economics Institute, warned that the fragility of the ceasefire was evident from the outset, and its collapse—in addition to rising oil prices—will confront advanced industries' supply chains in Asia with difficulties, push central banks toward adopting contractionary policies, and will worsen financial conditions.
