Nobody would have expected this, except for Hamas militants themselves.
In the short term, we may see a bit of volatility.
In the mid term, we have to see if the war will be kept within the both parties, or will it be expanded into a regional war. If we have a severe way in the Middle East, energy prices will quite sure be driven up.
In the longer term, it should not affect the US stock market by too much
104549331 : Well, have you ever thought that Israel is supported by the US; wouldn't the US help? Over the past few decades, the US has provided Israel with funding every year
razo2 : hamas bought oil futures that is why. lol
Cow Moo-ney OP 104549331 : The US is now also helping Ukraine
Cow Moo-ney OP razo2 : Yup, I wouldn’t say it doesn’t affect the market at all too. We can expect quite a bit of volatility in the short term until the market sees that the war isn’t expanding / going beyond control.
Markio1315 : this morning oil has pump almost 6%... if it escalate we will see $100 mark again.
104549331 Cow Moo-ney OP : Currently, the Middle East is in turmoil. Ukraine has announced its support for Israel. Currently, Israel is surrounded by various countries in the Middle East. Israel is likely to fall into the quagmire of war like Ukraine. If the war in the Middle East expands and countries meddle, then there is no need to control the stock market, because it is already very close to World War III
Cow Moo-ney OP Markio1315 : Crude oil futures’ rising
Cow Moo-ney OP 104549331 : Agree. If the war expands, the stock market won't be something we should worry about.
DongliangCapital : Tonight will be bloody, rainy, and windy. Visual inspection will drop to 200 yuan
104549331 Cow Moo-ney OP : Currently, there are as many as 10 countries participating in the war in the Middle East
