Iran War 100 Days: Global Market Volatility and Stock Performance

As the Iran war marks its 100th day, global markets experience significant volatility. Negotiations between the U.S. and Iran remain stalled, yet the S&P 500 has hit all-time highs despite higher oil prices. While U.S. stocks have generally recovered from initial losses, European markets show more subdued performance due to rising energy costs. Analysts suggest that AI investments are boosting select sectors, with semiconductor stocks benefiting from increased demand. Overall, the potential for future inflation remains a concern if the conflict continues unresolved.
