Wall Street always pays attention when a bank like Goldman Sachs (GS) changes its economic forecast. But when the key drivers behind that change include war, sky-high oil prices, and a potential recession, investors really sit up straight and listen.

Oil (CBK26) prices are the most obvious trigger here, but the bank’s warning goes a whole lot deeper than rising energy costs.
