Impact of the Middle East conflict on stock markets
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East is primarily a human tragedy, but also has economic implications. This is particularly evident in the portfolios of many private investors, as numerous stocks and ETFs have lost value in a very short period of time.
Reaction of major stock indices
Since the conflict began, major indices such as the DAX, S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 have recorded losses in value. The DAX, for example, fell by 5%. Given such declines, the question is whether this sell-off will continue or whether we will soon see a reversal.
Two reasons for possible further downward momentum
Psychological Support Brands:The aforementioned DAX, S&P and NASDAQ indices are on the verge of falling below important psychological support levels. If these levels are broken, it could lead to a further acceleration of the sell-off.
Investors are looking for safe havens:During uncertain times, large investors tend to favor safe investment options such as gold and bonds. Bonds in particular are currently attractive with interest rates of up to 5% and represent a high-yield alternative to the risky stock market.
Advice to investors
Despite the current market fluctuations, Baudzus recommends investors to maintain their focus in the medium to long term. If you continue to invest in stocks and ETFs, you are on the right track. He therefore strongly advises that ETF savings plans and stock savings plans continue to run.
