Finding a safe haven as tensions rise
Markets have turned more volatile this week as tensions in the Middle East escalate. Beyond the very real human cost, investors are trying to gauge what it could mean for energy supplies, inflation and global markets.
Equities have pulled back as uncertainty rises, while traditional ‘safe haven’ assets such as the US dollar have strengthened. But the market reaction hasn’t been entirely typical. With oil and gas prices jumping, investors are also reassessing the outlook for inflation and interest rates.
It’s a fast-moving situation and market reactions are evolving quickly. What should investors focus on?
Jane Parry returns to the Canaccord Coffee Break podcast and is joined by Leah Bramwell, Head of Tailored Investment Solutions, to unpack:
- How markets are reacting to escalating tensions in the Middle East
- How energy prices and inflation concerns are shaping investor behaviour
- What’s unusual about the current ‘safe haven’ market response
- Why long-term investors may need to stay focused despite short-term volatility.
With events still unfolding, Leah explains why keeping a long-term perspective can be key when uncertainty spikes.
