Here’s what this means for your investments:
🛢 Oil Prices Could Rise
As tensions grow, oil prices are expected to spike due to concerns about supply disruptions, especially if Iran’s oil facilities are targeted. Higher energy prices often lead to inflationary pressure, which impacts both consumers and businesses. This means prices for everyday goods may rise, and companies with high energy costs will likely feel the pinch. 📈
📊 Market Volatility
The stock market often reacts with heightened volatility during geopolitical crises, as investors flock to safe-haven assets like gold and bonds. 📉 Stocks, particularly those tied to technology and consumer sectors, may take a hit due to rising costs and uncertainty.
