Concerns about a sustained state of emergency have been increasing week by week, with estimated impacts on the US economy of up to $5 billion per day.
Concerns about crude oil
Crude oil saw a significant increase for the first time in over a year due to concerns that Israel may retaliate against missile attacks on its territory by launching attacks on Iran's petroleum facilities.
After President Joe Biden stated that the US is discussing whether to support potential attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure, Brent surged 5% the previous day and extended gains on Friday.
US government officials later indicated that the administration is still in discussions with Israel and no decision has been made yet. Due to increased tensions, there is a higher risk of disruption in Middle Eastern oil supply, leading to nearly a 9% surge in crude oil this week.
Hedge fund losses
Former Goldman Sachs genius investor Ed Eisler's hedge fund is facing losses.
For hedge funds, the amount of cash they can raise from investors is a crucial litmus test. Eisler Capital's current assets under management are about $4 billion, below the AUM of 2021.
The challenges faced by this fund illustrate how difficult it is to sit at the top table of the hedge fund industry.
