Even as global equities continue to scale record highs and silver prices surge alongside risk assets, concerns are mounting among some market veterans that investors may be underestimating the long-term economic fallout from the Middle East energy crisis.

However, he warned that the underlying risks in global energy markets remain severe and could eventually destabilize growth, inflation, and supply chains worldwide.
