Economic analyst Henrietta Treyz left MS NOW’s Alex Witt stunned on Saturday after issuing a dire prediction about the American economy, particularly as it relates to the ongoing surge in energy costs.

Witt queued up a clip of President Donald Trump claiming that gas prices – which recently reached a four-year high of $4.30 per gallon – would soon fall as his war against Iran ends, and despite peace talks between Washington and Tehran having reached a stalemate. She then asked Treyz, were the war to “end tomorrow,” how soon Americans could expect prices at the pump to fall.

“At the earliest, you're not getting regular flow through the Strait of Hormuz until September, so my calculation is that, on the trajectory we're at right now, we should be expecting $4.90 gas by the end of next week,” Treyz said. “We are on track to get to $5 or even above by Memorial Day.”
