Volatility Soars As Wall Street Weighs U.S.-Iran War. How To Manage Risk When Geopolitics Flip.

• US strikes on Iran and the assassination of its Supreme Leader have triggered strategic paralysis in Tehran and sent shockwaves through global energy markets.
• Stock markets show resilience but face high volatility, with Brent crude oil spiking to $90/barrel due to the Strait of Hormuz closure, potentially leading to further price increases.
• A prolonged conflict and energy price hikes could drag on the economy, altering the Fed's interest rate cut plans for 2026.
• Beyond defense contractors, cyclical names and highly valued/volatile stocks are at risk; gold and the US dollar are currently seen as safe havens.
• Investors should be cautious, build watchlists of strong stocks, and wait for clear signs of market recovery rather than 'buying the dip' in this volatile environment.
