Capital markets have consistently followed a predictable pattern during major geopolitical conflicts over the past 36 years, focusing on pricing uncertainty rather than the human cost of war. From the 1991 Gulf War to the 2022 Russia-Ukraine conflict, markets have reacted with initial panic, driving up prices of commodities like oil and gold, while stock markets plummet. However, once conflicts begin and uncertainty diminishes, markets often rebound, with safe-haven assets declining and stock markets recovering. The recent escalation of tensions in the Middle East has once again tested global capital markets. The potential for supply chain disruptions, particularly in energy, could lead to inflationary pressures, forcing central banks to maintain tight monetary policies. This scenario could result in a downturn for risk assets, including cryptocurrencies, which often see liquidity drained during crises. Investors are advised to focus on capital preservation, hedging against inflation, and avoiding high-risk assets during such turbulent times.
